Quick find code: 254-255-35-61865390
i love reading books. but reading a book based on a video game i thought was extremely nerdy. but i went ahead and bought it anyways because ive been playing runescape for so long.
i loved the book. it had a pretty good story line. it dident put everything into modern day runescape which kinda gave me the old feeling of runescape that we all miss so much.
but of course, i have to ask one thing.. make another book pl0x <3.

I recently just received the book in the mail, and was fortunate enough to spend the last five days reading it passionately and engaging in the Theodore's many adventures, thoughts, and actions. When I first received this book, my face lit up with excitement, happiness, and pure form of joy that I had only encountered before during a major celebration - such as my birthday.
I ordered it from the Jagex Online Store, and was surprised to receive sooner than I expected, not to mention, to discover that it was packaged with pride by "Kathy!". I assume this is an employee from Jagex who took her time to package my book with care.
Thank you very much, Kathy

The book itself, is very interesting, and not only is the cover of it visually appealing, but the entire core of the book - along with its storyline, elaborate wording, and interesting personalities - has truly exceeded all of my expectations this book, that too in prodigious lengths.
I rather not spoil the storyline for you, however, so far in the novel my favourite character happens to be Ebenezer, an elderly alchemist who happens to love science and thinks like a unique individual. Also, the entire novel is full of interesting, unique, and elaborate adventures, not to mention, performs splendidly in the first chapter alone. It also surprised me how accurate, in terms of RuneScape, the book was, not to mention, how interesting each character was throughout the entire course of the novel.
I believe this is without a doubt Tom S. Church's magnum opus.
I definitely will look forward to a sequel, although I am not aware whether or not there will be one, it seems like Betrayal at Falador is suitable for a sequel in all respects.
I would like to thank Tom S. Church for making such a fantastic novel, and Jagex for supporting the novel as a whole.
I strongly advise any of you interested in this book to purchase it and savour it thoroughly. It definitely is not something to be missed!

Hey guys,
When I first discovered a book about runescape I didn't think very much of the idea, but the amount of research and way in which someone can take runescape and make it their own indiviual setting, and then design your own story within that setting got me thinking.
I'm a keen reader, I read as much as I play runescape (and I play a lot >.>
I'm also about to begin a degree in english and creative writing next year...
If I were to write a decent book over the next couple of years set in gielinor would I get the same amount of support that T.S Church has? I really think I could have a good attempt myself
How would I go about getting in touch with jagex and is it worth trying?
Anyway- I haven't readthe book yet but when i do I will edit this post.
(I'm hoping it is similar to "eragon"

I got the book as a Christmas gift last year and I have read it several times.
My absolute favourite thing about the book is that Gielinor is a much bigger world in the book. Mr T.S Church made an amazing job on this and I like almost everything about it.
The battles are very well described. (The final battle held me up until late at night to read.)
Another very nice thing about the world Gielinor in the book is that everyone is very human. Teleportation is extremely advanced magic, many people have never even heard of Adamanite and werewolves are mostly fairy tales. It makes Gielinor a very real yet good fantasy world.
I give it 8 Happy faces out of 10

Any one know if it's available at Barnes and Noble in the US? I've read the first chapter and I was compelled! I want to finish it
