hello there =))
well, this is my first post, so tell me what i should improve on for writing reviews next time =) this is ruth by the way, but most people just call me "woofy" online, as well as at school alot.
well.. here goes:
Armageddon’s Children Terry Brooks pages: 371
Plot: This book has 2 plots actually, one from each of the two series that the author has decided to put together in this book, the two series being 1) the Shannara series, and 2) the Word and the Void series. So I guess I’ll divide the plot sector into 2.
1) Word and the Void
The plot here is that two knights of the Word (instead of the usual 1 in all his OTHER night of the Word books,) are, in opposite areas in the US, fighting REALLY hard to save the children and parents in the compounds. While they are trying to do this, there are demons everywhere, trying to take all the children and all the strong people hostage, so that they could be changed into demons, and be used to kill others. The demons are part of the Void. Anyways, the two knight of the Words try to save others, but the male knight of the Word (Logan Tom) has to find a boy born with magic, one who is related to the main characters in the other Word of the Void series, and the female knight of the Word (Angel Perez) has to try to save as many people as possible, and to find the elves of another world, but both (Angel AND Logan) had to stay safe from the demons. For the whole of this part of the story, that is what they do, and, after a time, both Angel and Logan Tom meet, and work together to save all of human kind that are still left.
2) Shannara
In this part of the story, the “Chosen” elves (yes this series is COMEPLETLY different from the other series) are to serve the Ellcrys, which is a tree that served to keep the demons out. Angel Perez (from the plot above) is to help the elves (2 in particular,) find the legendary elf stone that has not been seen for a long time, and put the Ellcrys into it, and therefore keeping the whole tree safe without having to uproot the tree at all. Angel, along with the elves, have to find the elf stones before the demons can kill the elf country, and the elves get wiped out of existence.
not gonna spoil the ending.. but then again, there isn't really an ending at all
Thoughts: this book and this author is really good…
Rating: I’d give it a 9/10, which is really high, because I don’t actually give 10’s cause nothing’s perfect =)
Genre: fiction/fantasy
Recommended for people who like the author, and also people who adventure and fantasy books mixed with bad guys and good guys =))
total: 3 hours

I thought that this was a stellar review, which is the 'truth', in case you were wondering. I like how you split the plot up because it was confusing. either way it is confusing, but i think that has more to do with the fact that it is a confusing story in general, and less to do with your review. Good Work! Solid Effort! Pfftalicious! (pick the compliment of your choice)

P.S. I am very curious as to why people call you woffy....although there is no need to be obligated to answer this if you don't want to. But i'm sure it is quite an intriguing story, none the less.
Woofy,
I loved your review.
Sci fi is not my favourite. Translation, I read it if I must but I would prefer not too, if possible.
My husband on the other hand, loves this series. He and his nerdy friend, yes I said nerdy read the whole series. his friend is an IT specialist, need I say more.
They say I just don't like sci fi because I have no imagination. I like reality fiction.
You did a great job explaining this story. The plot is complicated and it is a very long book.
I enjoy reading your reviews. you almost make me want to read the book, if I could have you explaining it to me as I went.

Woofy,
I noticed you asked if you were correct in your posting.
It was just fine.
be sure to keep adding your hours as you go so that if you need a form for volunteer hours, we can do it later on, down the road.
