Customer Reviews

Enjoyable, and a must-have for King's Quest fans.

I picked this up at my local bookstore a while back, eager for anything related to the classic King's Quest series. I spent a weekend enjoying this book. It's not hard reading by any means, but I was eager to know what trouble Alexander found himself in next, and I barely put the book doen until I finished it. It also (much like the games) plays around with some fantasy and fairytale tropes in some unusual ways. It may not be a world-shattering epic like LOTR, but that's not what it sets out to be. It's just a fun adventure story that keeps your attention. I recommend it, and as cheap as you can get it, what's stopping you?

A fantastical adventure for all fantasy book lovers!

I am a very avid King's Quest player. I own King's Quest 1 through 8 and I love every single one of them. When this book came out I immediately had to go out and buy it. Now I'm not much of a reader, but I absolutly loved this book! It is one of the best I've ever read, its way up on my must read list along with: A Clockwork Orange, The Dragon Lance Series, and other fantasy works. This is a book that will be truly enjoyed by King's Quest fans as well as anyone who enjoys reading for simple pleasure.

WONDERFUL! JUST LIKE THE GAMES !

I thought this was a marvelous fantasy tale; it was portrayed just like the computer series. Like the games, this book has alot of interesting characters each with a different personality. This book also has an interesting plot involving Prince Alexander on an adventure to retrieve his father's sould from the evil mage, Telgrin. I thought this book was the best one of the 3 part volume .

An excelent book, and a must have for any King's Quest fan.

All was calm in Daventry until a drifted in. Unusal events started to take place and the mighty King's Graham gatheres his bravest knights to dissucus the issue. A stranger stormes in attacks Graham. In effort to save his kingdom Prince Alexander goes after this wizard and must try to defeat him in, "The Floating Castle". Any fan of King's Quest would love this book with a catching story is a hard to drop book and excelently written.
