More About This Book

Overview

A great book will transport you to another world... literally, if you're not careful.

On a gloomy Thursday afternoon, Max Bloom enters his local library in a last ditch attempt to stave off an epic case of teenage boredom. Among the hushed stacks he discovers The Cornerstone, a strange book tucked away on a dusty, forgotten shelf. Opening the cover, Max is instantly transported to an alternate dimension full of things intent on killing him – thus avoiding boredom with remarkable success.

He meets a beautiful girl called Merelie, who believes Max is the only one that can save both worlds from the hideous Dwellers - terrifying monsters from beyond the universe. She thinks he might be a Wordsmith, a sorcerer able to craft magic from the written word itself – one strong enough to defeat the Dwellers and their treacherous human allies.

This all sounds completely unbelievable, of course. The kind of thing you'd read in a fantasy novel. But The Cornerstone doesn't lie… and the danger is very real.

In a world threatened by monsters, where books are worshipped and magic exists, Max Bloom must make a choice: close The Cornerstone and run home - or trust Merelie, become a Wordsmith, and save two worlds from certain destruction...

    I always said to people that when reading a book, it feels like

    I always said to people that when reading a book, it feels like I am being transported to another world and follow in the footsteps of the characters. Howver, one if one book actually did transport you to another world. Would you enjoy yourself still? I can't answer that because it depends on the book. Max'd whole world is about to change where his world may be in danger.

    The one thing that I really loved was that books were simply cherished continously throughout this book. A writer was considered a God and magic existed. What could make this world go bad. Oh yeah, something that could possibly destroy two worlds. That could possibly do it. Just stating that point.

    Max I thought was an interesting character. I think my favorite moment was when he blushed after being kissed. Awwwww! He got a little embrarassed. Just kidding. The characters throughtout this book were the most well-centered characters that I have followed throughout the entire book. That doesn't happen really often.

    Overall this book, I have to say was interesting and I would pick it up again for a fast read. (Since I did finish it in one sitting). So readers if you are interested in reading an interesting book, come check this book out and give it a chance.

    I give this book 4 souls!
