Summary: A very amusing introduction to the world of Landover!
Review: Ben Holiday, a solemn lawyer who had lost his wife and daughter did the most unusual thing one day: buy a faroff fantasyland and become a king for it. And he did it all with a very straightforward mind as if he is still back on Earth - he even went jogging through the enchanted forest near his new palace! In addition, our hero befriended a whole cast of very interesting fantasy characters like a comical wizard, a talking dog with human hands, and a very luscious green-skinned forest nymph who could turn into a tree and looks ready to throw her fabulous body at the stern-faced lawyer who still misses his lost family. And what is more, our hero got much more than he bargained for: a great mission to overthrow all the enemies like the wizard's evil twin, a dragon, and a sorceress holding an iron grip on the lovely little fairyland that he had inherited. A very delightful, imaginative ride through the pretty place gently illuminated by several colored moons!

Summary: A so-so beginning to an awesome series
Review: It' a good book, don't get me wrong, but it isn't funny. I want to repeat that, IT ISN'T FUNNY! It probably could have been funny if it was written by someone else but Terry Brooks is first and foremost a serious fantasy writer. It's what he is good at. Abernathy the dog squire is somewhat amusing I suppose when introductions are made, but when the story-line gets started there is no room for amusement whatsoever. I would probably give this book a higher rating if it weren't for the fact that it makes a mold for the next two or three books. After Brooks starts writing different plots the series gets much much better. My advice is to go ahead and read it, and then skip to The Black Unicorn and read on down the series, just don't expect much humor, if you want that, read Douglas Adams.

Summary: This is not Shannara!
Review: Magic Kingdom for Sale - Sold! delivers nothing new and presents very little originality. Add to that the fact that the key point of the plot -of one escaping from the drudgery of the daily world to face unsurmountable problems in a magical land of fantasy - is heavily overused, and on your hands you will have the book that draws on forever. At least that was my impression of this. Most surprising of all is the total lack of any sort of originality. The book takes a mileau approach - a sort of "see the world" - but given that there is nothing for our pithy lawyer-turned-monarch to see... well, you understand. None of the societies are explored in any sort of depth, all being summarized by a few predictable passages. Despite the fact that the book centers singularly on the ventures of five people (the classic bumbling wizard, the classic mindless person from a different world, the classic pretty lady, and the classic knowledgeable-type), I found only one meaningful relationship going on in the book, and even that was dealt with quite clumsily - Brooks seems to overemphasize, even overstate his points. There is a number of similar books that handle the concept better.

Summary: Excellent Book.
Review: One of Brooks' best, Magic Kingdom for Sale-Sold! is a wonderful blend of fantasy, adventure, and comedy. It is very imaginative and extremely amusing (especially the Gnomes and the Wizard).
