[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 955986, member: 203"] [b]Re: Lame spoiler in the Sword of Truth rant[/b] [B] Too true. I agree with many of your points and wich to subscribe to your newsletter. But Jordan is an easy target nowadays... No, no, no its Holy [i]Bovine[/i]. ;) I liked Dune but could never read past the first book. They get even weirder. [/B] :D I tired to read the first book got about 80 pages in and thought - why am a I reading a children's book?(as in written only for children with nothing to appeal to adults -and I'm an adult to plays RPGs and video games!) And a poorly written one at that. Maybe the later ones get better (they certainly get longer - defiantley getting that Jordanesque look about them) I don't know and don't really care to. So others on my 'personal hate list' would be; Dragonlance novels. All of them. Yup, every single last craptacular one of them. Anything Kevin J. Anderson has ever written. This guy gives hacks a bad name. I have had the misfortune to read 3 of his novels (hoping they would get better because I really like Star Wars and he was doing the Dark Apprentice series it came out just after Timothy Zahn's original SW books) not all of them SW (one was a Dune novel that I got free from a book club and ordered without knowing KJA was co-author - I paid way too much for it :D ).
