Summary: A great read!
Review: I picked this book up because I was intrigued by the title -- and I ended up reading the whole series! This book is a rarity among fantasy books: an extremely original plot, interesting and bizarre (but sophisticated) characters, plenty of humor and excitement. I was glad to see that the main focus of the story actually was the plot, and that it didn't get lost in the genre. For this reason it will appeal to a wide range of people, even those who don't normally like fantasy. Give it a read! You won't regret it.

Summary: Comic Relief after the Shannara series...Wonderful novel !!!
Review: After reading the Shannara series, you may need a little comic relief. "Magic Kingdom For Sale" has the same great writing style, but less Intensity....you won't feel so nervous about the main characters and the quest is more like your own life--how the heck am I going to straighten this mess out? What did I get myself into? --except for the fact that your friends are not quite human and your world is completely new...and you have more responsibility than you ever imagined, just when you thought you were FINALLY going to get a break...and then this Dark Lord character wants to take-over everything and.... Oh, read the story! This series is more at-home on the shelf beside "The Hitch-hiker's Guide," than the Shannara series. You'll love it!

Summary: Great Book
Review: Overall a great book. Definitely not the best by Terry Brooks, but thoroughly enjoyable none the less. I've re-read it several times (as I have most of my books) and each time that I read it, I STILL enjoy it... and that's what makes a book a good book. The storyline is interesting, the characters unique. I'd recommend reading al the books in the series to fully enjoy the complete story

Summary: Loved it!
Review: This was my first Terry Brooks and I just loved it. I couldn't wait to read the other four, (which I also loved). I think this one was my favorite but I recommend the others as well. I think it's a book for everyone to enjoy.

Summary: Great series!
Review: I'm an avid fan of fantasy, but I'd read (or tried to read) other books by Terry Brooks, and not really been able to get in to them (probably my fault, but still. . .) Anyhow, this book was captivating from the first page to the last, and I found myself wishing that I could find a magic kingdom for sale in some odd catalogue, as Ben Holiday does in this book. As he journeys to the magic kingdom of Landover, he finds that being king of a fairy kingdom isn't all strolling through ferny forests and sunlit meadows -- for all is not well in this kingdom, and the king is the one with the heaviest load of responsibility. . . and the most pressing weight of danger. . . I highly recommend this book to any fantasy fan, which at points is funny, mystical, romantic, action-packed; and it's interesting throughout. Enjoy, and the check out the rest of the series, because they're all great reads!

Summary: Not So Good
Review: I'm an avid reader of Fantasy and I've read many titles by Terry Brooks. This one was by far the worst. I thought that the characters and the plotline of the story were incredibly corny. Maybe this book would be enjoyable for a younger audience.

Summary: Great stuff
Review: Terry Brooks has a great imagination. This book lets the reader wander through his playful areas and still enjoy the tight plots and good characters that are his trademark. Magic Kingdom is a light, light hearted, spirited read! It is a must read if you love fantasy. Read it!

Summary: The Landover Novels
Review: The Magic Kingdom set has to be one of the best works I have read. From the first book to the last, Terry Brooks keeps you in suspense. The characters are wonderful. I suggest anyone that enjoys fantasy novels to read this set. I do hope Terry Brooks adds another book to this faboulous tell.

Summary: Great High Lord, Mighty High Lord!!!
Review: This was a light-hearted tale. There are a lot of situations that seem impossible to overcome, but Ben Holiday has the best LUCK in the world. A real walking rabbit's foot. I really liked the characters, especially the kobolds and the G'home Gnomes. This book really deserved 4.5 stars. I recommend this book to anybody. A great adventure!!!
