Would you buy a book from this man?

Then imagine if each 'book' of Pratchett's was a tome like Erikson's and Martin's!...

In short stick with it because you're not alone and it's certainly worth the investment. My favourite fanatsy series ever.

GOLLUM I couldnt have said it better.

After struggling through book one, starting to get the feel of it in books two and three, I have now almost finished book four!

Stick with it the Erikson fans have said...which is what I have done and which is why book five is now sitting on the shelf ready and waiting
