[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 88491, member: 3208"] i find reading a FR novel to be a similar experience to watching a childrens movie. If I can just throw aside my jaded inner cynic for the few hours it takes me to wade through it, i will enjoy it. seroiusly though the dnd authors never really seem to have their villians do anything particularly terrible other then abstract "I'm going to steal your soul and give it to my god" or "I'm going to kill the hero, that's what makes me bad" type stuff, we are left to assume that they have done terrible things, but rarely see evidence of true evil. as for salvatore, It was as though i woke up from a dream during the last book, after being introduced to robert jordan and terry brooks, and discovered that I really didn't care for salvatore's I'm going to give a detailed description of my characters in every damn book style. also i realized i liked entreri more then drizzt, therefore the last book held little interest to me. That's what i like about WoT, they're numbered so the uninitiated know where to start and they explain to you all of the terms and people in the book at the back just in case you can't remember all 3,000,000 characters in great detail, making it so jordan does not have to waste alot of pages in the story doing the same.
