Query: Excellent!

This is my favorite book! My father loved it, and he recommended it to me. Then I recommended it to my best friend, and she couldn't put it down! Some people hate fantasy novels, but this novel is definitely above the other fantasy novels that people hate. The plot was engaging, and the characters were interesting. In fact, I was so mad when I finished the novel because I would no longer have this wonderful book to finish!
