"Quite interesting. I find that the plot is very well written, and hard to put down this story. This is one book you do want to read!" -WandsandWorlds.com (David, a 9-year-old reviewer)
"An action-packed story with modern day knights and fast cars and secret societies and a magical sword - what more could you ask for? This is the kind of story that people seem drawn to read. . . I took it with me to read on a recent vacation, and before too long I was sharing it with both my son and my niece, and another niece was eyeing it with interest. The story is exciting, the characters, especially Alfred and his mentor/knight Bennacio, are interesting and likeable, and the author injects just the right touch of humor to keep the story fun." -WandsandWorlds.com (David's mom)
