Review: At Last !!!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I don't rate novels with 5 stars. However :This novel is every bit as rich, and varied as Tolkien or Rawlins and a deal more gritty in its own way than either. The only comparable, contemporary author that comes to mind is Stephen King, and when I compare THE RIDDLER'S GIFT with THE GUNSLINGER, as a first in series effort, the RIDDLER has a thicker, more palpable atmosphere right from the start than the DARK TOWER series, King's life long opus. This story is closer to the HOBBIT or SORCER'S STONE then most of King's work, but seems to belong in the rarified atmosphere of these seminal authors. I'm missing the next installment already, and will probably even buy it if it gets to Book Bub !!!This could really be the start of something big. One can only hope that the author can maintain this level of story telling mastery long enough to complete the series as well as he has begun it.
