Hi Everyone!

Interesting thread...

I think that I can safely say that David Gemmell is the single, worst, fantasy author *ever*. He constantly tries to squeeze 4 novels worth of information into one novel and starts them out by dumping you into the middle of a convoluted story line without any background or explanation. Makes me feel as though I'm trying to swim with chainmail on...

His stories also always tend to be the typical, "Army of evil places impregnable fortress under siege and the forces of good resist mightly and will untilmately prevail." Yawn!

I'm also not particularly impressed with Tad Williams, specifically "The Dragonbone Chair". *Big Yawn!* Boring as hell, IMHO.
