Is anyone familiar with the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan?

My 13 yr old was wanting to read them and someone in our group had a son reading them. THese boys really like Tolkien and LOTR movies and games associated with LOTR.

I admit I was desperate to get him a book in time for St. Nick's day (tomorrow)---one that he would actually read ---so I ordered it but i haven't read it and don't know much about it. And now I'm getting nervous.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Hi Cay,

This is an old post but I'll hope on to say my 2 older sons (13 & 15) LOVED this series of books.

Nice to hear, Brenda.
Garrett loves them too and also enhales "The Last Apprentice" series by Joseph Delaney.

I was just speaking to a good friend, whose opinion that I trust, who has said that her son enjoys these books and that she has not found them to be problematic...

Good luck!
