Jake & the Giant: The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 2

Love the story

Great book not just for children I’m 58 love it nearly finished can’t wait to get the third

I enjoyed this. The story is filled with myth and history. The story weaves history into myth and one can understand how sine myths might just be true!! It stands alone as a story which is really good.

I am still reading this, but the books are brilliant thank you.

Let's just talk about the awesomeness that is the narrator! Take a minute to bow down to his super powers ;) He is fan-freaking-tastic!! The amount of different voices he can do is phenomenal. It felt like I was listening to an audio that had multiple narrators, he is that good!!Now onto the book. I didn't think this would top book 1, but it did!! This had so much going on that it's impossible not to love. I mean, first and foremost we have the stunningly beautiful setting that is Norway! It's a beautiful place and the authors capture that perfectly. Then we have the Norse mythology! I love mythology, no matter where it's from but most of the mythology is Greek or Roman Gods, so it was nice to see the Norse Gods have their turn.We have giants, well one giant to start, Snorri! We have Yggdrasil. Valhalla. We have Odin, Thor and LOKI! Loki, as the trickster god, is up to his usual no good in this, and wants to bring about Ragnarok, but he needs the giants help. Loki will try anything to do it so we see plenty of antics from him! We also have scientists added into the mix! Some of the most famous are mentioned in the story and I absolutely loved that fact! Anyway, add all those together and you get this amazingly addictive read.Every single character in the book is well written and developed. Jake grows a lot and I loved seeing him take responsibility and try to do the right thing. Snorri was such a great character too. He was hilarious at times and the narrator really brought him to life.The plot was fast paced and engrossing. As I said, I loved the mythology of it but we still have a great story at the core. Jake and his cousin are willing to do what they can to help Snorri get home and save the day. Snorri isn't the brightest but the boys treat him with respect.In all, this was an entertaining, laugh out loud, engaging and engrossing read. Right from the start you are pulled into a land of myth and legend, of magic and mayhem and a land that you will fall in love with. It's definitely a series that all ages will enjoy and one that will firmly stay on my favourite shelf. I can not wait to listen to the next one!! Amazing book and an amazing narrator!!*I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

20 words ok bing bong do this and that ping pong boo boom moo doo body box from are fox

Oh my, I loved reading this book. The Characters are fascinating and thrilling. You will be captivated by this story.

Though written for young adults. If you are a Harry Potter fan you will love these books.

What a great series this is! Magical and ghostly characters who help move the story along so it keeps all who read it enthralled. Giants and other magical creatures who tend to assist our heroes in finding whatever answers they are looking for especially when they ask nicely. Many thanks to E.G.Foley for their fantastic imaginations. Can't wait to get to the next book.

This was a fun story to read. Jake and his friends meet many famous geniuses, along with several beings from Norse mythology. I enjoyed the book, and definitely plan to continue reading the series.
