Product Description:
Geralt de Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin.

And a cold-blooded killer.

His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good

. . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

The international hit that inspired the video game: The Witcher.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent
The Last Wish is one of the most interesting fantasies I've read. It's different and really well written. The translation is nice, and I want to play the game. I definitely recommend it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I already pre-ordered the sequel...
I enjoyed this book, I pre-ordered the sequel:
Blood of Elves (The Witcher)

I want to clarify one thing. The book inspired the videogame, not the other way around. So if you aren't a "gamer", don't be diswayed. This is a great book.

The Last Wish is never going to be mistaken for high literature. It's never going to be compared to a work by Shakespeare, Dickens, or Faulkner. There are no sentences that are a paragraph in length. There are no metaphors that require ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - First book I bought since Elementary.
Now ever since elementary 7 years ago I never bought a book or bother to actually read any but after playing the game I decided I like the way the story goes and decided to get more out of it.

What I like about this book is how it discuss issues that most people don't even bother to even look at. I'm not so sure if it's just me or most of the book I've read (mostly for school) are way too shallow for me and are pretty much the same thing over and over. The Last Wish gives a different point ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Last Wish
Loved the PC game The Witcher so wanted to read the books. The Last Wish is great. Laughed out loud in some spots. Sapkowski's humor is exceptional. Very realistic. Not your typical fantasy type book. Can't wait until the other books are translated into English.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easy quick read, very enjoyable
I first heard of this book when reading a review for a video game based on the book and decided to give it a try. I found the book to be very engrossing. It reminded me of reading those Conan novels when I was growing up!!! Give him a try, I know I can't wait for more of his books to come to the US.
