I wasn't trying to outdo you Peter, but more importantly, its 2/3rds of my life (being 47), and If I had to say what have I read that has become part of who I am, it'd be these books ...

Read Lord Fouls Bane in 1982 - that makes 32 years that I have been living these books

Wouldn't have missed it for anything

Here is my 10 cents worth


1. Hile Troy
2. Lord Mhoram
3 Foam Follower
4. Bannor
5. Brinn
6. Stave
7. The First
8. Sunder
9. Pitchwife

In the epilogue, Stave ".. The Earth hs been vouchafed.."

Should that be "The Land..." ?

Thin story (not a thinny!) Simple premise, and a predictable end. I did like the concept of a stakblast, tho. It could have been a story placed anywhere (and maybe it originally was), and bolted onto the DT series...

Gee, thanks

Often here, reading, but not posting - I've hit 50 posts tho !!! (haha plonk)

Was crap from start to finish.

Made in beautiful New Zealand, however, is a redeeming feature !!

If you haven't, come and visit "Gods own country".

My 11 year old loved it, and the second season was cut half way through because ( I hear from someone who worked on it) they ran out of money.

I got to about book seven, and was so frustrated with the intrigues within intrigues, and felling lost, and characters showing up who I could not quite remember their context and the 12 year old women all over the place (why can't so many fantasy authors write about adult relationships ??) Energy to...

Bottom 2

Under The Dome
Cell

Ouch, you have King Hit these two stories

Yes, read this, another weak ending, and quite simply, no characters that were worth a mention (except the 3 teenagers) - But no empathy with any character(s), including the super hero - I think he missed the real horror story, which was to enable those under the dome to survive (ie the dome self pe...

Tena koe from New Zealand Theomach Welcome to the Watch. King in no way equals the emotional intensity of Donaldson (perhaps the closest is Wizard and Glass). I didn't see many similarities. I for one liked the Drawing of the Three the best. But, for example, when the ka tet is on the Monorail, I wa...

Insomnia is possibly one of the Best King books - alongside Wizard and Glass, Drawing of the Three

I seen Stave as LF's route to the Haruachi. I think Liand will be, like Sunder, a new type of Lord. Not only that, he'll marry Pahni, and the wedding celebrant will be our mate Thomas... The wedding will enable a new home for the White Gold ring (Pahni's finger), and ... On second thoughts, Liand w...

I'd watch out for Ravers if I was him - they'd be keen to take charge

Hiya all I've just finished Peter Hamilton's "Pandoras Star" and "Judas Unchained" - its almost a play school version of the GAP. Like bubble gum really. I gotta go with Angus as my Fave love / hate character! I love to hate him and hate to love him... How are you getting on Ston...

Hello

I'm a Warriors supporter (plus the Queensland teams (Bronco, Titans and Cowboys)

But Most importantly

The KIWIS who are the World champions (5 more years, 5 more years)

I'm in heaven

Wizard and glass is good - Drawing of the Three is the best...

Yes, I enjoyed this, they are a bit hard to get hold of in New Zeal and (Godzone...)
