has...interesting and sympathetic characters, a fast-moving story that doesn't need 500+ pages to get started, let alone finish a story, and new territory every outing - were all in Dragon Bones.And, "Simply Fantastic," raves Mike, another Amazon reviewer. He shares:
Ms. Briggs weaves a richly detailed world, with dark overtones and obstacles that would leave the typcial fantasy hero searching for a quiet corner to hide in. Mental illness seems to be a common affliction in the land of Hurog. Ward's father is megalomaniacle with homocidal tendencies, his mother lives in a drug-assisted psychotic stupor, his suicidal brother has chosen fugue and exile, and his sister is mute. Ward only acts autistic to avoid attrating paternal attention!Dragon Bones - Briggs Dragon Bones by Patricia Briggs. Narrated by Joe Joe Manganiello. And the CD is even better earning five stars from Diana:
Just got this audio book on Friday and listened nonstop all weekend. It went from my house to the car into the supermarket back home and to the park. What a great listen. I have enjoyed everything that Patricia Briggs has written and the Hurog books were the first of her books that I ever read. Way to go Joe Manganiello (FYI he plays a werewolf on True Blood). He made my pulse race. For those who never read Dragon Bones there is a classic hero's journey but the hero is by no means typical. Also tere are many strong female characters but this is no feminist treatise.Download FREE sound clips.
