Reviews for The Enchanted Island of Yew

[davegregg_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I listened to this book (in audiobook form via Librivox.org) in its entirety during third shift at work. It was really fun. A few oddities, and a creative story setup (from a writer's perspective) at the very beginning. The adventures were very entertaining and colorful. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. My only complaint, which is slight, is that the ending lacked a little where the rest of the book excelled. The ending was a bit disappointing, but I would still rate this as a suggested read to anyone looking for a fun read or quality fairytale fiction.
