| Re: Opinions about the Shannara Series They might be predictable but it all really depends on the authors style of writing and how well they can pull it off. if the author can pull it off, then the story souldn't be as preictable even if you guess.some authors add twists and turns here and there to try and throw you off like pretending that one main character is dead or actually killing them off slowly:O.its ll down to their ability to write. |

| Re: Opinions about the Shannara Series Oh yes, Clansman, you should definitely get the Word and the Void series. From my experience with Shannara, I get the feeling that the first several books appealed more to me when I was still only a teenager. If you asked me then, I would definitely start babbling excitedly (and very biased-ly) about just how good the series were. But now that I'm all grown up (I wouldn't call it 'old'), I find that books like Running with the Demon suit me more. I think this problem of books losing their sense of wonder with age is not exclusive to Brooks. And so saying, I disagree with ghost that the Shannara books are for the 'older than young adults' category. I think they're perfectly suited for them. |
