| Re: Why do you keep reading??
I really liked the Belgariad and the Mallorean and read them numerous times as a teenager.
Later work was of a declining quality, with the same characters with different names. I stopped reading his new books after The Tamuli series since I found it not only repetitive of what had gone before but poorly written.
By all accounts later books have been poorer still, so it was a good place to stop.
At his best whilst his books were rather childish, and contained some of the most ludicrous battle descriptions in all of the fantasy genre, they were very entertaining full of great characters and sparkling dialogue. |
