[QUOTE="Zelda Themelin, post: 445808, member: 167"] I think those books are both good and bad. Well written, yes, certainly interesting, but if only somebody would permanently disintegrate and wipe out that whiny stupid excuse for a main character. Makes me really wonder, whatever author wrote those books at times of hard divorce process or in middle of health problems out of doctor's suggestion to help getting free of traumas by putting those depressive, angry thoughts on paper. Or probably it was just one of those artistic moves some writers and tv-scribt creators make, not minding how much entertaiment value it reduces. Thomas Covenant fails as an antihero. As character, he lacks every cool element, except maybe his name. (I think book names are pretty catchy). Also, Finnish translation of first book, is probably worst translation I've ever seen. Probably one thing why I remember those series so well. That translation is actually so bad, it gives good laughts here and there. Donaldson has good books, I've heard, but I've always failed to read them, since my experience with these series. [/QUOTE]
