The Merchant of Death (Pendragon #1)

Reader reviewed by Allison Perlycc14

The book Pendragon: The Merchant of Death was an ok book. I myself did not espeically care for it. It was too boring for me. It was just a very long book, and the fact that it was boring made the book seem so much longer. I admit that at some points in the book it got fairly interesting, but most of the time it was a very tedious book! I would not recomend this book to people. The only people I would consider to recomend this book to would be people who enjoy science fiction. I am gonna warn you though: even though you may like science fiction you may still not like the book, because it is very long, and very boring. I give this book an F-. Or in other words a failing grade!

This book took me about 4-5 days to read. When I really love a book, I can read non-stop and finish in 1 day. This book was quite exciting at the start, but I was always left just as confused as the character (speaking in first person).

I was looking for a series, and this was a pretty long series, so I decided to give it a try. I was excited as Bobby slowly learned he was a Traveler, but the plot wasn't as exciting.

I loved how DJ Machale always switched from Bobby's journal pages to Mark + Courtney's lives and how having his journals affected them, but sometimes, I felt really bad, because I wanted to keep on reading what happened to one of them, but then I remember it's exciting in the next few pages!

Overall, this book was exceptional, with quite a few boring parts. I would, however, recommend this book to anyone, along with the other Pendragon books.

It isnt that bad but it isnt really good either. I'd recommend it to someone who doesn't really have anything better to do. It's really doesnt draw you in. You have to try to finish it (or at least I did).

It's about a high school boy who finally gets everything he could ever want and then has everything taken away from him within a couple of seconds. He goes to different worlds and times (known as Halla) to save them from being destroyed while Saint Dane tries to destroy everything. In this book he goes to the world of Denduron and reluctantly starts his life as a Traveller (someone who travels between the worlds).

Now, I'm not trying to put down the book down or anything, it was okay. I could tell it was well written and all that but I guess after reading Harry Potter and the Inheritance Trilogy and all that it just seemed kind of dull. But I still might recomend it to some people, it was full of action and adventure and all that. You decide, but it's not for me.
