Dopo aver passato anni a immaginare Paranor e le Quattro Terre �� un piacere avere un'opera che cataloghi tutto ci�� che �� degno di essere catalogato, corredando il tutto con delle buone immagini. Si tratta di un libro poco adatto ad una lettura "tutta d'un fiato", perfetto invece nel caso qualcuno volesse ambientare un gioco di ruolo nel mondo di Shannara.
Ovviamente �� meglio essersi letti prima i libri della saga (almeno le prime due serie).

A must have for any Shannara fan. This book contains abridged versions of each character, creature, and location in the Four Lands where the Shannara Saga takes place. The new version includes the Knight of the Word info as well. This book definitely ties the whole collection together. Also includes some interesting character drawings. However, this is not a substitute for reading the books. I recommend if you are a fan of the Series.
TONS of great information, very detailed. this is the kind of background book (as i call them) that i recommend--it is great for the hardcore fan who wants all this info, it is good for the casual fan, and it is even better for the new or returning fan who has lost touch with most of the info and lore. also absolutely gorgeous artwork included all over the place. be sure to check this one out even if you're not a Shannara fan. it might just turn you into one ;)
Ho praticamente tutto di Terry Brooks quindi ho comprato anche questo. Se ne può fare a meno ma spesso si trova tra i libri al 50% nelle librerie on-line. Se proprio non ne potete fare a meno, cercate almeno l'affare.
It was fun to read through this book as I've read about half the Shannara series. This filled in a few blanks on what I've read and whetted my appetite for the books on my shelf! :-)
If you love the Shannara books this is a must read. There are great illistrations and some background story that fills in what the books leave out or leave for you to figure out.
I enjoyed reading through this encyclopedia of the Shannara world.
Very informative and interesting. Make sure you get the most up to date copy though as the older ones don't inlcude the books from the last couple of years.
This is a fabulous guide for Shannara, although with the rate at which new books seem to appear will be a little behind the inventiveness of the pre-Shannara history. Definitely worth having at least until a revised edition is available, but not a vital part of enjoying the world of Shannara!
I was given this book for my 15th birthday. The Sword of Shannara (and the whole Shannara series)was what really got me into my love of reading. Although it's a little outdated now, this book is a great encylopedia of knowlege for the Shannara world. A great book to have for any fan.
Didn't finish - skimmed
Everything and more about the world of Shannara created by Terry Brooks. Great illustrations and attention to detail.

A great addition to any Shannara lover's coffee table.
A great reference for Shannara fans.
