But don't think for a second that it's too tame or "young reader" . It's full of grimy fighting, power-hungry folks with twisted and dubious motives and a hero who is pushed to the brink of physical endurance and sanity. Think a tech-savy-futuristic-dude-who-can -fight-like-Spartacus, stranded in a magical world. The result? Put down what you're reading now and prepare to be transported.</div> </div> <div class="imageTiles" style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;margin-top:5px;"> </div> <div class="clearboth txtsmall gt9 vtStripe" style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;clear:both;padding-top:9px;font-size:12px;line-height:16px;"> <div class="fl cmt" style="float:left;"><a class="noTextDecoration" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DK6I1QK9GH8E/ref=cm_cr_dp_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B005JU9840&nodeID=133140011&store=digital-text#wasThisHelpful" style="color:rgb(153,102,51);margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;">Comment</a> <span class="gry gr4 gl4" style="padding-right:4px;padding-left:4px;color:rgb(102,102,102);">|</span> </div> <div> </div> <div class="vt"> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </div> </div> </div>
