The Song of the Quarkbeast

One of the books that I read over break was called The Song of the Quarkbeast, by Jasper Fforde. This is the sequel to the book that I loved so much, called The Last DragonSlayer. This book wasn't as good, but still not really disappointing. The Last Dragonslayer is kind of like this weird fantasy-type-book with Dragons and (guess what!) a Dragonslayer, set in the un-UK in modern day. The thing that makes it good is it's unbelievably quirky and funny, and has all of these unexpected plot twists. The Song of the Quarkbeast is awesome too, but not nearly as quirky, and that's what made the first book great in the first place. It was still a really good book though; the author makes the cheesiest plot lines make sense and seem funny and actually kind of credible sometimes. If you read the first book, you definitely should read this one too, because it ties up the story pretty well but not all the way (OMG THERE'S A THIRD ONE COMING OUT!!!). Some of you might not like the first one, but you should read it anyways!!! Also, you should probably read the Last Dragonslayer before you read The Song of the Quarkbeast.
Alright, that's all folks. See you on Monday.

  1. I liked how you were honest with your opinions about this book. WOULD you recommend reading the Last Dragon Slayer?
