He's a laugh a year is old Stephen D.

That said, the First Chronicles blew me away in the eighties. It was a revelation to me that a fantasy novel could twist the genre, (as I then understood it, essentially Tolkienesque), quite as much as it did.

That's not to say I didn't want to kick TC around the room on occasion. I also struggled with the second chronicles. I never liked Linden Avery, consequently as she got more air time, I had to force myself to read on.
