[QUOTE="Kesh, post: 968100, member: 1308"] I don't recall any full series I ever hated. Anything written by Dickens, though... *shudder* [i]Dune[/i] rocks, but I haven't read beyond the first book. Saw the second series on Sci-Fi channel and was a bit lost. From what I hear, it gets weirder than that. I've avoided Jordan's work, for precisely the reasons listed above. Too much bad press. :) I love Weis & Hickman's [i]Dragonlance[/i] novels, but detest the books by other authors. Got burned by too many of them. Same with most [i]Star Wars[/i] books. I enjoyed the Zahn trilogy, but most other authors really screwed up the characters and/or setting badly. One exception was [i]The Truce At Bakura[/i], which was rather refreshing. Oooh! [i]Star Trek[/i] novels! Now that's a breeding ground for bad prose! :D Occasionally, there's a good one. [i]Spock's World[/i], [i]Prime Directive[/i], and the return of the replicants (can't remember the title). Others are really really bad. We're talking "Spock as a pirate" level of bad. ;) Wait, i do have one. Arthur C. Clarke's [i]Rama[/i] series. The first one was interesting. Second was okay. After that, he brought in a "co-author" and everything he's put out since has been crap. :( Though if Stephen King never finishes his [i]Dark Tower[/i] series, I'll be royally P.O.'ed. :cool: [/QUOTE]
