As you know I'm currently reading a book called Heroes and Villains. The cover of this book has a raging Cyclops on it and is part of a series called 'Legends'. Strait away I knew that this book was about legendary beasts and soldiers in ancient times.
I turned the book around to read the blurb, this is because the blurb pretty much sums up the whole book in a few paragraphs so I generally choose a book based on the blurb. This is what it said:
"The battle between good and evil has raged throughout time.
The heroes and villains of this ancient conflict are many. Some fight using their superior strength and some their wit and cunning. other triumph speed, skill or sheer determination, but they all have one thing in common: they are ready to fight to the death."
This really didn't really surprise me. I expected this sort of thing as I said before. I think anthony probably could of added a little bit of excitement to this blurb. Maybe mention the types of things to expect in this book for example " The almighty Zeus, God of Gods rules everything the sun touches, but what happens when Archilles fights against him?" To me this blurb really says the self explanatory.
Some use strength, Some use speed, well obviously they wouldn't be called heroes if they were all the same. The battle beetween good and evil has raged throughout time, again hes just stating the obvious. Heroes and villains is a book I'm enjoying, posting this post has made me realise how poor the blurb is though.
