A review by nightxade
The Sword of Shannara Trilogy by Terry Brooks, Darrell K. Sweet

2.0

Everyone keeps saying that this is just a rip off of Lord of the Rings. I strongly disagree with this assessment. First of all, in Lord of the Rings, the crew is taking a magical talisman *to* the bad guy's evil lair. Here, they are picking up a magical sword *from* the realm of badness. Also, LOTR supposedly is our history, while Shannara is post-apocalypse. See? Totally different.

Now if you'll excuse me, I will spend the rest of this review just posting images of Manu Bennett, who will be playing the role of hot notGandalf in the upcoming MTV series.
