I am that is
For me, it began as a search for some books series to read. Animorphs was too kiddy and Stephen King was too adult, and my parents attempted both. They bought Wizard and Glass, the fourth book in the Dark Tower series and expected me to just dive into it and devour it. I spent the ride home in utter confusion with the amount of characters, plot and subplots, and I had no idea what was going on and eventually the book ended up grabbing dust on a shelf. Several more trips to Borders and Barnes and Noble ended up fruitless and a few more dusters on the shelf. One of those happened to be Redwall by Brian Jacques. I had read around the first five chapters and wasn't really into it, but that was because of the pressure from my parents to find something to read. Half a year passed, and I was cleaning out my room and getting things together to donate, and again the Redwall book popped up. I grabbed it and looked it over, hardly recognizing it or the cover. I nearly placed it in the to go box, but something in me said not to and to give this book another go. I sat down later that day and popped it open, and it was like finding a new hope. Every page was full of love and compassion, challenge and fate, and even fear and despair. The next day, the book was finished and I grabbed my allowance and begged to go to get the next one. After a year, I had demolished the thirteen that were published and started to re-read the series over and over, just like it was the last time I could. There is no other series in my life, that I have found (a good caveat to have), has ever taught me so much and entertained me for so long. There aren't words that can ever equal the hope and happiness that this series brought me, and I couldn't be more thankful to Mr. Jacques for writing these wonderful books.
