Beckster Review

This is a great book,I could not put it down. It took me 2 weeks too read this book. I am waiting for book 2. If you have teenagers who don'T like too read belive me. They will change their minds!

Richard C. White took a game and brought it to life

This is one book I just could not put down. It tells the story of gauntlet as it should be. The way the characters come alive and interact with each other makes me wonder why noone has done this yet for this series. The best thing about the book is all the characters and places that you've seen and played through in all the gauntlet games have made their way into this book so completely and perfectly that you wonder where the controller is supposed to plug in. The only problem with this book was the absolutely horrible editing. A lot of passages in this book I just used common sense to figure out what the book was trying to say, because if you actually tried to read some of these passages the way it was printed up you would end up with a headache and probably throw the book against the wall. I know I did upon quite a few occassions. So whether you love gauntlet or not this is one of the most enjoyable and action-packed books I have read in a very long time and let me tell you, I simply cannot wait until the rest of the series gets finished and published. I will definitely be buying them and reading them over and over again even if they do have a bunch of editing errors.

Overall - an enjoyable read

I purchased this book at the brick and mortar store the weekend that Richard was doing book signings locally. I needed a book(s) for an upcoming 3-day weekend getaway and picked up Gauntlet. (I have no prior experience with Gauntlet -the game.) I liked the characters' personalities and how they interacted with one another - it made the story more than just a suspenseful quest. The book also described the undead appropriately - not too graphic, but in good detail. It worked the suspense rather than the gruesome. Overall, this was an enjoyable read.
