Only the Best Book Ever
I started out hating cats but one day I saw the first book. I decided to get it. Now, I love cats even though I'm allergic! It was amazing.These books are even better than Harry Potter. I bet with a little time Warriors could be made into $10,000,000.00 movies! The series has touched my mind and heart like no other book. Warriors 6 is the best book yet! Fireheart, I mean FIRESTAR, is now leader of the thunder clan due to Bluestar's death. Tigerstar is now wanting all of the clans to come together and become the Tigerclan. I love these books because they are full of action. These books are like miracles. I had to put down the book from time to time because I wanted to save some pages for the next day. These are the kind of books that you have to force yourself to put down to so you can go to sleep. I hope Erin Hunter writes more, but I think this is the last one :-(. It is so devestating. Firestar is almost like my heart, I can't live without it. If it was up to me I would make the series up to 10000000000000. So if Erin Hunter is reading this MAKE AT LEAST 2 MORE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!

Warrior cats review
This is a bit of a review on all the books and I may unintentionaly add spoilers for the new prophecy. I think these are the best books, though I find they are quite similar to my other favorite, Harry Potter. For example, graypaw (ron) is best friend to newcomer firepaw(harry). they are later joined by sandpaw(hermione) who they previously didnt think much of. there is a traitor among them, tigerclaw (profesor snape) though there leader bluestar (dumbledor) is much too trusting. eventualy this trust costs bluestar (dumbledor) much more than their honor. If you have not read the Harry potter books, i highly recomend it if you like the warrior series.

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE NEW PROPHECY BOOKS DO NOT READ FURTHER

I didn't much like how in the new prophecy it was told mostly from brambleclaw's point of veiw. i much prefered firestar and now firestar seems at times as distant and unemotional as bluestar did. without firestar as the teller of the story, graystripe seems to be unfiar and bossy. i realise that as leader and deputy, the two have more responibilities than before, but this would not have changed them so much.

And another thing I would like to point out, when tigerstar (tigerclaw then) was found out about, the only cats bluestar trusted were whitestorm and firestar (fireheart then) whitestorm was expirieced, loyal and forest born. WHY DIDN'T BLUESTAR CHOOSE HIM AS DEPUTY??? Why? Because it wouldn't have made a good story. But when you look at it sensibly then you realise who the deputy really should have been.

I am not a reader that cries easily. But in these books I felt like my eyes were constantly wet. But perhaps the strangest thing was, the previous book, a dangerous path, when bluestar said, and this is my favorite part of the book,
"Bluestar fixed her blue gaze on him. Fireheart thought he could already see the shimmer of starclan in her eyes. "Fire will save the clan" She murmered, and Fireheart remembered the myserious prophecy he had heard from his earliest days in ThunderClan. "You never understood did you?" Bluestar went on. "Not even when I gave you your apprentice name, Firepaw. And I doubted it myself, when fire raged through our camp. Yet I see the truth now. Fireheart, you are the fire that will save ThunderClan."
--------skipping a paragraph------
"You will be a great leader." Bluestar's voice was the merest whisper. "One of the greatest the forest has ever known. You will have the warmth of fire to protect your clan and the feirceness of fire to defend it. You will be Firestar, the light of ThunderClan."

Strangly enough, this only brough tears to my eyes, it was on the next page that made the tears flow, when Graystripe bows his head o Fireheart and Fireheart rejects his athority, longing for the ease of their old friendship.

If you have a hardcover book, look on the back of it to find the warrior website. If not here it is www.warriorcats.com.
you can do a quiz or find your warrior name. for the warrior name if you dont want to enter your full name just enter your first and last initails where it askes for full. Where it askes for your birthday you only need the month. find your warrior name and hope you were not borne in december, if you were then you have no clan!

and lets all hope that they make a TV show based on the books because that would be the best!!!!!!!!!

The Darkest Hour
In this book, Fireheart takes over ThunderClan and becomes Firestar. The not-so-new leader of ShadowClan, Tigerstar, recruits the help of BloodClan, a clan of bloodthirsty cats who come from Twolegplace to try and slaughter Firestar. Firestar, however, joins forces with all the other Clans ( RiverClan, WindClan and ShadowClan) once Tigerstar has been killed by Scourge, the leader of BloodClan, for trying to kill Scourge when he did not listen to Tigerstar's orders. There is a new riddle which Firestar must decipher. It goes like this: " Four will become two. Lion and Tiger will meet in battle, and Blood will rule the forest." I'm not going to give away what it means, so if you want to know, buy this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And here's a little spoiler. The next series of Warriors books ( Warriors: The New Prophecy ), focuses on the unevil son of Tigerstar, Bramblepaw. In the series, Bramblepaw becomes Brambleclaw, and will probably become a hero, prove his loyalty to ThunderClan and show that he is SOOOOOOOOO not evil.
