Well I do share alot of feelings about Terry G with Grojlach I have to admit, not so violnetly I would go through the trouble of trying to find the code for the puking smiley though..
Well I think that the series got a bit better after book 1, and well it is cliché but then again, I find many books to be that. And so it is far more interesting when you find something that goes against the norm, But, I find the books to be good weekdays reading. Sitting in front of a puter doing shiitty work, I am not up for Tolstoy or mindbuggling books every night so a bit predictability is oki that way.
What I don't like is more of the same all the bleeding time.
I want the girl---I get the girl--I loose the girl---I get the girl--again--loose GAAARGH!
I got fed up with unhappy love stories and pseudo misery by doing the gross lets all be really nasty raping evil enemies so the heroe can kill us more violnetly in the end crap.
Oki, sorry. But it got old after two books, two more books and I threw it in the wall in shear desperation of being stuck, so I took up Dreamcycle by Lovecraft instead. Problem solved half way, haven't yet found the inspiration to take it up again.
So is the bookserie good? I let you be the judge of that. Storywise, it do get a bit better with the later books, and many people I know like it alot. I guess it is like Drizzit, enough is enough of the good stuff.
