Well, dear readers, I finally reached the end of the book and now I'm even more positive then ever that there will be no reviow of it by me. Why not? One of the reasons I've already exposed in entry below, but the other is simply that I've started reading this book as every book, with delight and curiousity of reading new things and get some knowledge, but the more I read the more I was reading it from my personal point as (I've already said) author's kids are my friends.

Some things dropped hard on me so I really am not the one who should write anything else. However the book has it's power and its subtittle is maybe even put wrong ... I saw it (if I exclude my personal feelings and views) more like apeal and invitation to Christians to return to God, who is (this I can say too, though I'm not a believer) often forgotten even by the Christians themselves.

So all of you, who are believers in Christ and God should take it and read it .. once ... twice .... third time if neccessary and think upon your lives ... Those who are not believers ... beware ... it has powerful message ... maybe even too powerful to bear.

This much from me ... and no more (due to respect to the author) about this book.

The next time I'll come to buy some Bionicle books instead as my translating work has to continue .. This is my mission toward our kids ... besides donating and helping them that way of course.

Enjoy the sunny day if you can and ... so long for now!

With love and respect ...

No, this is not a review, this is just a brief report that the book arrived, but, well, it said in descroption, that it's hard cover, but I've got Mass paperpack version. Not that I bother too much, but just to the knowledge.

I'm already reading the book (I've "eaten" Bionicle Legacy of Evil already and will soon invade SysQsys for more (haha)), but well, ladies and gentlemen, if you didn't know this is not an easy reading if you want to fully comprehend what this book is about of course. And it's not an easy reading because of one more thing - very little font in which the book is printed. But OK ... I WANT to read it and so I would probably do this even blind (mind I'm half blind person though).

If I will write a review? With all due respect toward Mr. King I probably won't do that. I don't dare. Actually I am the least competent to do this as I'm even not religious person at all.

Why I've bought this book then and why I'm reading it? The buying was out of curiousity as I've written two entries ago, but when I started to read it I realized it's absolutely worthy of reading.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen ... The book mades you STOP and think about your own life and - sorry Mr King - it even at the beginning made me feel guilty ... and scarred as well.

When started to read the book I thought I won't understand a bit of it at all as I never really read the Bible and I thought I'll have to study it first, but ... don't worry ... If you're a bit spiritual and thoughtful and you really read it with your heart (more importand by my opinion then reading it with full sense), you'll be able to understand the message. The others can take it as a scientific historical and Biblical study of Kings and Chronicles, but you can believe me... it's much, much more then that... at least for me.

Ops ... this is a kind of review, isn't it? Hope it's OK though.

This time I won't say "Happy buying and selling". No, this time I'll say "Thank you for reading!"

And to you Mr. King I'll just humbly say thank you for the book you've written. Hope there are some more to read.

Thank you all and GOOD LUCK!

With love and respect!

Hey bricksnships99 what did you send me??? I've opened the box and was splashed with tons of water from the figure in it ...

Hehe, just kidding!!!

I've got my Toa Gali as it should be and she did no trouble here... I am very pleased with what I've got and if you're satisfied with me as a buyer as much as I am with you as a seller, I'll humbly come for more those figures to buy. Old Mata Nui figures is hard to get those days so ...

OK, guys. Have a good time buying and selling. Let it be fun, not obligation!

Yes, that's right. I've got this book today, what made me extreamely happy and driving to work (I'm driving by bus) I've started to read it immediatelly, but ...

Well, yes, this time here's one BUT ... On the very start I've realized this will be a bit hard thing to read especially for the people who are not native English speakers and are somehow used to Greg's different writing style and also for the kids, who are younger then 13 or so years.

I already can put some conclusions here though I've read only some pages till now.

• The book is hard to understand if you're not Bionicle fan and if you're not on the track with the story, no matter how big sci-fi fan you are.
• I've also noticed that this part of the story has a lot more of so called human carasterictics then the story till now, what bothers me a bit. This should somehow be SCI-FI from the beginning to the end.
• If the toys are suitable for kids even younger then 10 years (my son was 4 years old when he got the first Toa) and the first books are quite understandable for let's say 8 or 9 years old kids already, this book surely isn't. I would say (no hard feelings Mr Farshtey) author has forgotten a bit that he actually is writing for older kids and not for adults, thogh I'm really "ancient" being in comparisson to kids (hehe) and I still love this story.
• I also can find out from the beginning of the reading this book is kind of discovery of all where evil in Bionicle comes from. Be prepared to a lot of new and old (but somehow covered) characters which appear already at the very beginning. So here we have some new Toa though they're not named by names, some strange creatures also fighting with Toa and we also come meet some members of the Dark Hunters and their chief The Shadowed One of course. Ohhh, but here are our old "friends" Piraka as well.
• I presume in this book will be no Toa we know neither Toa Nuva, nor Toa Inika so I bet this part of the story is dark from the beginning to the end.

Well, I'm just interested in what I'll have to say when I'll read this book till the end and read these rows again ... Maybe I wouldn't even agree with what I've just written anymore.

Well, that's it. Kind of my pre-review.

Have fun guys and happy buying and selling (as always) of course.

How this goes together? Not at all! if it's not on eBay. But onhere everything is possible so here they are ...

I'm very glad I finally managed to buy a book of my friend's father. I've read a lot of good about his writing and preaching so I am qurious what his stile of writing is. I have no doubt I'll enjoy reading the book as I'm interested in almost everything you could think of (if it's deecent of course).

And Toa Gali? Well, I think I'll get consense with the seller mentioned in previous blog and so I'm cellebrating the successful week on eBay!

Oh, well, I didn't get now ordered things yet, but I have no doubt it will go everything smooth again.

By the way, did Tahu or Kopaka already came with the candies to offer? Not yet? Oh, what a pitty ... hehe.

Have a great time selling and buying. I'm going away for a while (till I read all these books I've just bought) and then ... Wualla ... here I am again.

Ummm, well, see to some decent offer of Toa Lewa original (or Mata as some say) and the next Bionicle Legends book for me. I'll come and grab them. - lol. OK guys! Have fun and enjoy the weekend ...
