[QUOTE="Kastil, post: 1214374, member: 5649"] I rarely have to buy my fantasy books as my father is an avid reader (retirement does that) and he passes them down to me. So we get this book from him and look it over. It's called A Rumor of Dragons set in the Dragonlance setting. Interesting ::leafs through a few pages:: Wait a minute! This is just the first book of the original series!! Upon further review, it's not even the whole book. Dad! You bought another book you already read!!!!! But what's this on the back of the book? Hmmmmmmmmm........ Here's what the clever little bastards did. They took the first Dragonlance trilogy and split it into smaller books, two parts for every book, then put it out with the tag for 8-13 year olds. Now I have a nine year old son who has read all but the last Harry Potter book but I must admit one thing. He sees the size of those books and wants to run in terror. What a perfect size this Dragonlance thing is then for him. Plus the fact there is no situations in these books that will cause 'the talk' to happen. Oh yeah, not a girl. Daddy's going to field that when it comes ::remembers what husband is like:: then again, maybe not. Nevermind the fact I read these books back in high school. What a golden thing to pass down a series you enjoyed to the next generation and see them appreciate it as much as you did. Now if only he'd pick up my LotR books........... [/QUOTE]
