My favorite book to date.

      There are quite a few books that I have read throughout the years but there are very few that I will never forget and even less that I will consider reading twice. There are few books that related directly to my personal point of view, which is what I enjoy to read. The main book that comes to mind when I look back at my book shelf is the first book in the rangers apprentice series. The book is called The Ruins of Gorlan and is written by John Flanagan.
      For those that don't know the book is about a young boy named Will who is orphaned as a very young child and grows up in a foster house so to speak. When the boy comes of age he needs to pick a profession or have one picked for him. In the end he is picked up by the Ranger of the fief and thus begins the rest of his life. In the first book the writer goes over everything to do with being a ranger before entering into more of a story that revolved around a conflict that needed to be solved. I really enjoyed this about the book because not only was the writer able to keep me interesting while describing the back story and getting through all those yucky details of how everything worked he was also very easily able to transition into a great story about the boy overcoming a conflict and becoming more of a man.
    One of the min reason that I enjoyed this book is because it hits straight to the heart for me. It's exactly what I want in life. (To become an apprentice at craft and then become successful) I also helps that the main character of the book is a boy about my age and a boy who is always outdoors because for one I'm always outdoors and am a boy, duh, so it's easy for me to relate to the book him through his experiences. Another part of the book that made me enjoy it even more was the line that it walked between possible yet improbable. I know I have a bias towards things that should be imposslbe but are done anyway out of pure intuition and creativity.
     Right before reading Ruins of Gorlan I was reading the H.I.V.E. novels which were also centered around a orphaned boy who overcame adversity through pure creative genius so going into this book I already had a disposition to like book that are about guys my age. At the same time that I read this book I was also big into Boyscouts so when I read all these amazing things about what a kid my age could do I couldn't help but keep reading the book.
      All in all the book Ruins of Gorlan is a very good book, without all the connections that it made to my life and what i enjoy I might not be saying the same thing right now but because I read that book right when I did I still remember it today as an amazing book.
