Review Number 1: 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, December 23, 2008 By Richard Saunders (VA) Riveting! I was unable to put this book down. The characters, plot, and everything involved were woven in such a way as to make this story an exciting, fast-paced, adventure. Craig Smith captured the essence of many of the... great classic fantasy/sci-fi novels of this genre while maintaining a fresh and original story that allows the reader to feel like part of the story. I hope that a sequel is in the works. Review Number 2: 5.0 out of 5 stars The Red Stone Review by Kerry Wainwright, 18 Jan 2009 By Kerry Wainwright (Staffordshire, UK) The Red Stone is an engaging adventure that gets you drawn into the characters with ease. Within a chapter or two you are automatically enthrilled with The Red Stone and Tennen and you are captured by the magic of the authors imagination. I fully enjoyed the late nights and early morning bus rides to be able to sit down and read this title and I can't wait for any future adventures with Tennen and his many loveable friends especially the delightful Berrinn. Review Number 3: by BT In my reading experience I have found that there's a huge difference between a good story and a good book. This is the reason I've become very fussy when it comes to authors - but I'm happy to say I have a new one to add my limited list. Even though there are many authors out there who have good stories, they don't always translate into good books. At some point in the book you find yourself getting bored and it almost feels like what you're reading was just padding added afterwards to bulk it up a little. Well this is not the case with The Red Stone. I'm no expert but if I had to classify it I'd say it's a combination fantasy / adventure story. It's a perfect tool to use to escape the dreariness of day to day life and the story seems to grab you right from the start and it doesn't let go...not even when you reach the end. It's action packed and fast paced and I was quite impressed to find myself a little breathless having gotten wound up in what was happening. The lead character in the book, Tennen, finds himself in this whirlwind adventure and everything seems to happen before he's even had time to grasp what happened last and you find yourself in the same shell-shocked mindframe as you follow him along. I would really recommend this book to anyone of any age and it caters to a very wide variety of genre tastes. Review Number 4: by Celia N Absolutely brilliant story, well written. Enjoyed by teenagers and adults. Highly recommended. Read more
