Name/Grade: Austin Denney/8th

Genre (check one):

Fiction:                                                                 

Historical     Realistic      Mystery       Fantasy/Science Fiction   Poetry

 


1.      List three adjectives that describe this book:

 

a.  mind-twisting       b.  edge-of-your-seat  c. thrilling

 

2.      Write a 5-7 sentence summary of the book (beginning, middle, end):

Alfred has had many things happen in his past.  He's wielded Excalibur, fought off demons, and just when you think it's over, it isn't.  When Alfred is almost killed, he's sent on another journey for the Thirteenth Skull, an artifact created by Merlin.  Can he save the world again?

3.      Describe the writing style.  Does it hold your attention? Are the characters (if applicable) interesting?

Most of the time Alfred talks like a regular person, but everyone else talks in riddles.  It's kind of like a puzzle towards the end of the book.

 

4.      What did you especially enjoy about this book? Would you recommend it to a friend? Why or why not?

I enjoyed how you take the information from the other 2 books and use it to finish off the last one.  I would recommend it to anyone who wants a thriller, because it's an edge-of-your-seat feeling.  You should read the first 2 books in the series before you read the Thirteenth Skull.

 

5.      Overall rating: Check one (0= disliked it, 5= really liked it):

 0          1           2           3           4           5
