Good book
This book was great!! It was about an eleven year old boy named Jack. He gets swept off on a quest. These Berserkers came and snatched Jack. As this setting takes place in 739 A.D there is a lot of fantasies. There is also many of uses with swords and ships in this book."It seems that things are stirring across the water," the Bard had warned. "Ships are being built, swords are being forged."

Hearing the Northmen talk rapturously about the glories of being slaughtered in battle, the sensitive Jack can't understand it, but the reader will." I recommend this book to all fantasy lovers. Its a great one to read. You won't want to put it down!

An Awsome Book- The Sea of Trolls
This book was an exiting and adventurous tale of how a Young Saxon farmer boy became the hero of the day. The book incorporates mythology with history, and a ton of imagination. The Sea of Trolls is packed with important lessons and a basic view of older cultures. This is a must read for both teenagers and young adults.

An amazing novel
The Sea of Trolls is a truly incredible book about friendship, loss, magic, and adventure. Within these pages, you enter a world of everything young adults would like to find in a novel. I truly enjoyed reading Sea of Trolls, and I hope that others do too.

Anothe Hit After House of the Scorpion
How else can I say that everything Nancy Farmer does is great, than to say she is one of the best authors of all time? I can't find the words. This book is one of the best books I have read recently. 5/5, 10/10, 5 stars etc.

Amazing
I just finished and the whole time I was reading it I could picture it as one of the best movies that could be made. If it was a movie it would be a major hit like Lord of the Rings or Harry potter.

Truely inspired
I read this book with my 5th grade son and was astounded at the way the story pulled us in and kept us wanting to read. The characters are inspired and the story is captivating. It is my hope that a sequel will follow as this book was written with the same level of story telling mastery as Lord of the Rings and with imagination and simplicity of reading as is seen in Harry Potter. Give us more Jack and Jill stories. Well done Nany Farmer.

Make a movie!
The book was completely awesome... I loved the characters and the diversity of personalities. Spiders, Dragons, Trolls, Magic, Berserkers what else do you need? Humor, tragedy and the whole gamete of other emotions. There needs to be a sequel. The Sea of Trolls simply rocks. Write on Nancy Farmer.
