Nightfury he/him Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 So I've been trying to convince some of my friends to read these books, cause I think they are completely awesome, but they don't seem to believe me. I could use some help convincing them if any of you wouldn't mind. Any advice/testimonials? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairJ he/him Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Truly, these books are a lot of fun! I have enjoyed them quite thoroughly. As far as selling them to friends, sell them another Sanderson book first, and then get them to read these. While they are an easy read (being children's books), the shattering of the "fourth wall" can be a little hard to swallow at first, though it adds quite a bit to the books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rangress Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 They're shattering brilliant. To attempt an imitation of how Al would respond: "Don't read these books. They might be awesomely exciting, completely true, and full of me, don't read them. Don't find out the truth about the Librarian Conspiracy, or learn the truth about Alcatraz the Hero. Just don't do it. I mean, you'd totally enjoy the talking dinosaurs, and this is WAY better than those 'poignant' books where a boy's dog kills his mother. Just don't do it. But if you're stoopid (wait, no, brave) enough to read these books... Bastille dies in Book Two." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanist Lupus he/him Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I like to draw a comparison to the Series of Unfortunate Events, if Lemony Snicket included short side-stories about bunnies with bazookas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
