| Re: Does anybody recommend Donaldson?
Newt, you suggest that I'd really like it through that, but I ended up being ambivolent on it - enough so that I'm continuing to read the series, but I didn't find the Covenant series to be one of the best out there, just a good series. I like "slow, depressing and sometimes downright offensive" books - Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast and Michael Moorcock's Gloriana come to mind immediately - but my problem was that the idea was too simple for the length of it - I'd have preferred him to do a fully original series with the main character as a leper, rather than inserting a leper as main character into the Lord of the Rings, more or less. |
