BEST REVIEW YET!
The Darziods’ Stone by Richard Smith is a riveting tale
that takes readers on a fast-paced, thrilling adventure that leads to
unexpected discoveries.
Wow! From the first page to the last, this book had me on the edge of my seat a great deal of the time. This novel was very impressive and completely blew my mind! It more than met my expectations, if anything it exceeded them. I would be up at odd hours of the night reading the book, and when I finally went to bed: my mind stayed awake, riddled with thoughts over something that had happened as a result of plot twists that I had not anticipated. The author also did a remarkable job of melding fact and fiction: which not only made for a believable narrative but one that was very insightful and interesting as well.
I appreciated the well-written exposition and smooth transition from current events to past events. The authors writing style and formatting of the book ensured that there would be no confusion. I loved the element of surprise ushered by the plot twists in the book, I also totally did not expect the ending. There were moments when I was puzzled, intrigued, excited and at times saddened by what had transpired. I especially enjoyed the sense of humour brought to life by the cheeky dialogue that inspired quite a few laugh-out-loud moments.
After reading The Darziods’ Stone, I was in complete awe
of the writer's ability to articulate and express his ideas in a fashion that
transported the reader into the character’s world. The vivid and clear
description of events and locations in the book worked well. On top of that,
the drawings and illustrations featured: complemented the description of certain
scenes and experiences—which is something I think younger readers will appreciate.
Therefore, I am pleased to rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I loved this
book so much that I decided to purchase a copy for my younger brother. I
recommend this book to young adults and anyone who loves a good mystery and
adventure with a touch of history and sci-fi.
