They have to be, they guard hoards of gold. And they peck peoples eyes out. only when necessary  you understand" "have you every pecked someones eyes out?" Asked Felix. Ironclaw looked sheepish.  "no. but i could if i wanted to" Felix Smiled. The only difference is that the griffin says he is called a brazzle not a griffin.

  2. I've seen these books around, but I've never tried reading them. The book sounds really interesting and it seems like a great adventure. Maybe I'll pick one up sometime and try reading it.

  3. I love how you add some of the suspense from the book into your review. It is a great way for someone who doesn't really like fantasy to get into it, like me!!! Thanks for your review!

  4. I have never heard of brazzel before. Is it something unique to this book or just a magical creature I didn't know about. I think these are the book covers that open in the middle--pretty cool.
