The Stone Testament Review By Daniel Devine My Son

In my opinion this book was thoroughly enjoyable. This book had me hooked right from the dramatic beginning to the spectacular ending. The author of this book creates a vivid atmosphere which makes the characters, the awesome creatures and the imaginative places. The author splits between three times; elder time, present time and the time around 1905 which follows the life of Stone. This swap between times can be very confusing and complex as there are so many characters in this book you can not remember all of them.
The book follows the characters called Zillah and Adam in present time and they are aided by Kris. Zillah, Adam and Kris must prevent the beast gods from coming into present time and destroying the world. As this book is set in both times other characters are trying to the same thing and the characters, that have a resemblance to the present time characters, must work together to save both times.
In my opinion I think that this book is a brilliant book for children of twelve and over. This book mixes old legends, real life and religion to create the right recipe for a good and enjoyable book. If you like books which get you hooked right from the start this is the book for you.
