Hero of Ages

Anybody reading it yet? I'm in chpt 4 and I'm loving it so far.

I probably won't be getting it until Christmas, I'm jealous.

Didn't love it. SPOILER Really didn't like what he did to Sazed in his "questioning" period. Is that what believers really think of atheists? Jeeze....

I haven't read Hero of Ages yet. Maybe I can borrow it off you when you're done? *blinks big pleading eyes*

I did recently read Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians. The magic system was well-developed, as Sanderson's tend to be, but the writing style was annoying in the extreme. Perhaps I would have found it more amusing if I was a 12-year-old boy, since I think that's who it was aimed at.

I'd lend it to you, but I read it off my Kindle.

I loved Alcatraz, so I guess my inner 12-year-old is still functioning.

Aw, shoot.

I had to skip the first part of every chapter in Alcatraz. The humor seemed forced to me, and quite pleased with its own cleverness. But I'm not a big fan of that sort of humor, anyway. I'm the only person I know who hates the movie "Shrek" with a white-hot passion.

We are a devotedly Sanderson household. My husband and I love his fantasy books. Hero of Ages is wonderful! And my 9 & 8 yr old boys think the Alcatraz books are the funniest things they ever read. They even like them better than Captain Underpants, which is quite the complement.
