Can't beat the price or the story

This is the first book in the Three Rivers Series and was a definite "page turner"; so much so, that I immediately purchased the other 3 books in the series.  If you're looking for some Christian fiction that is real to life and a good story without being "preachy", then this is the book (series) for you.

The story is great, although I think writing these short stories and getting the reader hooked on the story is just a way to get top dollar for a novel.
(If you want to read the story you have to buy 5 or 6 books at 1.99 to 2.99 makes for an expensive book in the end.  Most of the stories are less than two hundred pages.)

The book itself, the story is FANTASTIC !! Just BEWARE who you are buying it from. many advertise a hard cover for $70 and then send you a $13 paperback

This is a great story, I really love it.  The only thing that lets it down is that the stories are too short.  You wait months and then its all read inside of two hours, and it costs me five bucks.  Not that that is a lot, but if you consider that I get a book which lasts me 16-18 hours for eight bucks by a really well known author, this seems quite excessive.  It has been noted in other reviews but the author doesn't seem to react to it at all, that's pretty annoying when people go to the effort to write reviews to assist emerging authors.  Whatever.  Maybe he banks on the fact that this annoys us, but we love the story so we will keep paying.  Which I will...  but that's not to say that I am totally happy about it. I have paid Dirk $45.00 for an equivalent time period of entertainment which I receive from Robin Hobb for $8.00.  That's a bit scandalous, isn't it?

As for the story, it is really good.  The characters are likable, the plot line is good, the action sequences are great.  Its not literature by any stretch, but it is super entertaining and I will wait with bated breath for the next two hour installment....

Received the book quickly,  it was cheaper than the price I saw in walmart! My 10 year old son and I are half way through reading it and love the story so far! Smart purchase.

I was fortunate enough to meet this Fabulist (aka Author) on a train in Australia and bought his book with the last cash in my wallet.

He signed it for me which was a big bonus .... until I started reading his work and found a much bigger bonus.

A very good spend of only $15.

Andrew has crafted fables from a place of adventure.

His book EVENTYR is one I am enjoying bit by bit. ... more and more.

It gives the reader things to ponder with surprise behind each corner.... familiar in the unfamiliar treatment to take the reader away from the mundane and into a place less expected and more enjoyed.

I am anticipated each of the Unlikely Conversations yet read each a few times before advancing to the next.

The collaboration with illustrator Lika works a treat.... she has captured the feel of the tales Andrew has woven.

Andrew's book would work really well as an animated series .... so animators get on to it.:)

My wallet is lighter for very good reason.

Just buy the book and have the adventure.

Regards

Choice of Broadsides is an entertaining adventure, and a bargain at 99 cents.  The story is complex and varied, and the choices you make have actual consequences throughout the tale.  There's a lot more reading with this one than, say, Choice of the Dragon, and it took me about a half-hour to complete the first time around.  It's taken me about that long each time; there's a lot of new material with each different choice.  And that's why I've given it five stars--the choices matter, it's well written and surprising at times, and it's just a lot of fun.  I think the length is perfect--you have time to do a couple of stories in a sitting, and for me, that's part of the allure of these things... I like to see just how different a story I can create each time.

My eleven-year-old has also played this one-- it's definitely appropriate for her age group--but she doesn't find it as entertaining as I have, and tends to play Choice of the Dragon much more often.

Very highly recommend.  I mentioned this thing is on sale for a buck, right?  Totally worth it.

I enjoyed this book very much, especially since the original author of "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" was no longer alive to continue this plot.  Others have stated it gave too much background and etc. of the Paratime Police and University, but my opinion is ( I have an A--hole to go with it also.) this only expands the story so that the following volumes can flesh out the tale.  Unfortunately I probably won't get to read them since I am on a fixed income and refuse to pay $8.99 for a digital copy.  I don't know why the publisher thinks that these books are worth so much when their cost is so little compared to print copies. I have several authors that I no longer follow in Kindle form for the same reason.  There are so many indy authors I can read for $0.00 to $4.99.  My 2 cents.  Dan

P.S.  I go through 3-4 books a week so I look for deals or visit used book stores, LOL.

I am enjoying the content of these stories and that I do not have to break the bank with the cost.

This is a classic, and I had to read it at this price!

A good tale well told, but it's a little short for me. I like to read books that are engaging, as this one is, but they end too soon for me!

There are many books in the series and so far i've read three of them, they're all worth reading and enjoyable, the story is quite believable as well, some of the facts may be questionable to some but i'm not looking for strict truth, just a good read.

The big issue for me with this series is as i said earlier the length of each book, aprox. 270 pages it just goes by too fast, but also the very high cost of each book in the series....4.99 @ currently 7 books is 35 dollars...for me and i would guess a great many readers that's a lot of money...None are currently under the Amazon Prime free library program either.

That said, you'll likely enjoy them as much as i have, if the 35 dollars for a seven book series is not an issue for you then by all means buy them on my hearty recommendation!
Great escapism, excellent adventure, modern and real life like scenarios (except the zombies/night-runners of course!)

To the author...keep writing them! I'll surely buy more of them as i can afford them...

Author's style has a nice cadence.  It kept the story flowing. One-third of the book is notes but the 200 pages that are story are well written and interesting.  Buy it now while it's a monthly deal on sale.

This book has tiny print but it is Unabridged, full version, so cost-wise it is a great buy. There's enough margins on the sides to be able to write notes. The paper is thick enough so highlighting passages won't be an issue. Undoubtedly a great story to read and share with kids as it talks about being primordial and conquering all odds.

Enjoyable quick story. Well worth 0.99. For some unexpected reason the next books are $3.99 each. I think this is excessive. I would like to read the other stories, but NOT at that price. They are essentially the same length. So I see no reason for the increase in price.

This story was written in a believable, perfect format which I enjoyed immensely.  I have paid much more than $2.99 for a book and enjoyed it much less.  I recommend it highly.

This is a great collection of stories for 2 reasons. The first is because it's a great bargain for the price. This is a HUGE book & will entertain the reader for hours. I've bought several volumes of the great Sagas, including several such as Egil's Saga & Njal's Saga or Burnt Njal, which contained only one story. This book contains all of Egil's Saga as well as many others. I think Penguin definitely gives you a lot for your money.
The second reason is that these are great stories. The characters are interesting, the action is intense, and the plots are memorable. Anyone who loves tales of adventure & conflict will find something to like here. Anyone thinking that the Norse people offered no lasting contribution to Western culture should familiarize themselves with the Sagas. In my opinion, these works compare favorably to any literature of the Middle Ages.
The one caution I'd offer to someone not familiar with these tales is to not read the introductions until after reading the story. Otherwise, the ending will be spoiled for you.
Penguin has a reputation for publishing important historical works of literature at very affordable prices. This collection is a fine addition to their impressive catalog.
