Evaluate Of Books The Hound of Rowan (The Tapestry #1)

I love when I pick up a book, knowing very little about it, and discover that it is just what I was looking for. Because this is a book about a young teenager who goes to boarding school to learn magic, the comparisons to Harry Potter are inevitable, but this is so much more than a Harry Potter read-alike.Basically, this is the story of Max. While visiting an art museum with his father, Max sees a vision in a tapestry. This vision draws attention to Max, both favorable and negative. Ultimately,

Reading the first few chapters, I found myself comparing this book to Harry Potter. As one of the most avid reader of H.P. I have to say that I was a little disappointed. But when I got past reading chapter 4, I found myself falling in love with this book. There's a significant difference between this book and H.P. The main plot, unlike H.P, this book does not exactly use "magic" per say, it's based more on the real stuff like science fiction and folklore. I was also amazed by the author's

I was pretty excited reading the back of the book--it seemed like it had all the qualities of a children's fantasy novel that would entrance me. It did captivate in some ways, however, in many others it was sadly lacking. I felt myself more compelled to focus on the supporting character (the main character's roommate) than the actual main character, Max. He was sadly disappointing in many ways, and continued to irritate me throughout the book. It was only towards the end of the book that he even

I reead the entire Harry Potter series in May. I see review after review comparing this to Harry Potter, but to me it felt like a combination of a lot of middle grade series like Fablehaven, Percy Jackson, The Magisterium series, with a little tiny bit of science fiction mixed with the fantasy. In other words, the only real comparison to HP is that he receives a letter in the mail to get an evaluation and there is a magic school. And there is references to a chosen one. If that's plagarism, then

After finding a mysterious tapestry, Max is quickly whisked away to a private academy where he must train in fighting and mystics if he hopes to keep him and his dad safe from an ancient evil, one that is secretly stealing away children and precious artworks...Neff begins an intriguing adventure full of myths and mayhem sure to delight and shock. Will Max be able to pass all of his new courses long enough to learn the ropes?

When Max McDaniels sees a vision of a scene from Irish mythology in a tapestry, he learns that he has magic and can go to the secret magical school of Rowan. It takes some doing to get there--dark forces have been kidnapping "potentials" like Max, and his father (his mother is gone) can't know the true nature of the school. Once there, everything is surprising. The kitchen is run by a reformed ogre and a hag. Max and his roommate's room is "configured" into a large, two-level space with

This book is very similar to Harry Potter, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed The Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter) or The box and the Dragonfly (The Keepers).Edit: In retrospect, I don't know why I enjoyed this so much, this book really wasn't that good. There were too many characters to keep track of, and it really was an all over the place book. I abandoned the series in this book, as I couldn't bear to continue.
