I don't know what i was thinking when i bought David Eddings' 'Redemption of Althalus'. To be fair to the author, The first chapters are funny and well thought out, but it quickly degenerates into ridiculously childish events. The whole book seems to be written for 10 year olds and Eddings cant help but throw in every far fetched outcome his overly imaginative mind can conjure.
I shudder at the thought that i wish i still had the book, if only to post a few of the more laughable plot developments.
Favourite book? It's not actually a sci-fi in the full sense of the word but rather a genre that i call sci-freak'n-ecstasy. Grant Naylor's Red Dwarf and Better Than Life go down in history as my all time favourites. Pure insanity. [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img]
