I finally was able to finish the complete series of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. I started this series in the late 80's with To Green Angel Tower parts 1 and 2 then this year bought The Dragonbone Chair and The Stone of Farewell so it was mostly backwards.

I have to say if Lord of the Rings had not been written and this story was in its place the world we live in would not have suffered because of that. I think Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn every bit as good as LOTR even if they have similarities and in many ways I liked Tad's story better then Tolkien's LOTR.
