Customer Reviews

Definitely a keeper!

I've been a fan of the series since it first aired and was extremely disappointed when Fox cancelled it without airing the last 5 episodes. I then heard about the books coming out, but could not get my hands on them till now. I finished Roar yesterday and all I can is wow! I love that they included the story behind the story with Gar as a young man and Conor not even born yet. I also liked the allusions that were made about Catlin's father. Overall I thought this book ran true to form and I'm glad that nothing was cut out that was in the pilot episode.

GREAT BOOK TO GET HOOKED ON!

I had watched the T.V. show befor I read this book ( and before the show was canceled) and had thought it was great. As soon as I read Roar I thought it was great. The characters in the book were a great match for each other. If you like fantsy and Scifi, you'll love this book. And the sequal is really, really good to. It is almost better! (Sorry if there is any spelling mistakes!)

Celtic Legends never Die.

After the disappointment of the networks decision to cancel the series, I found the books (Roar and Roar,the Cauldron)true to form... it is a real shame they stopped the series...though I can see where book 2 would have been conceptually impossible to project to the viewer in a series form... I loved both books.. the charachters.. I hope that Kiernan furthers himself in writing so the disappointed viewers can still follow his works... very enjoyable reading.

Best Book ever

This is the best book I have ever read. I love the details and the plot. It was well written. I hope the series continues after the second book.

A Great Book For Roar Fans.

I really loved this book especially since Roar has been canceled and I can't watch it any more. It starts out with what happened before the show started. It has all the action and drama of the show and it chronicles Conor and Claire's relationship from the first meeting to her death in the pilot episode of Roar. Although it begins before Conor's birth it was still fascinating how everyone's lives connected for the pilot.
