anchovies

SRD. how do anchovies contribute to your Art? Can you explain the secret metaphor hidden in Chapter 15 of Fatal revenant where if you read the first character of a line and then the last of the next it spells little fishes?

thanks

Hashi, you're right. It might be more mature to ignore. I just kind of felt sorry for MJB and the countless others who were attacked. You know, because I'm a big softie. :) I think the arrogance of putting one's own low opinions of other people in Donaldson's mouth as if he shares this disdain for ...

hmm

Well, let me start by saying I LIKED the Last Chronicles. Perhaps I'm a lazy reader, but for the most part I thought there were very cool things in there: 1. The Haruchai and Giants kicked butt as usual. They really are Donaldsons greatest and fully fleshed creations in the Land. I guess we learned ...

Re: Likes, dislikes

By clarification you want a point by point response? Ok. 1. Strongest in what way? Strongest in the ways cited earlier in this thread - the narrative was brisk, the story was enjoyable and interesting and developed nicely and provided some closure.

er

I think you are being a little presumptuous here assuming I (or anyone else) is not keeping an open mind. We're all fans here. Hey I like the book ok. I just felt there were flaws. I was chiming in a thread that was discussing some of them and listing some of the points I had. To complain my opinion...

BTW, it's worth listing I think roughly my order of preferred books from best liked to least liked just to show my biases: In the first two chronicles 1. The Wounded Land (What can I say I really liked it) 2. The Po...

Likes, dislikes

1. I agree the beginning and end are the strongest. 2. I hate the giants and the haruchai being poorly characterized (exception Stave who has become truly wonderful). In fact brutally speaking I am not sure even why we need the Humbled and the giants in the story so far. They are pretty useless exce...

The arch of time will be destroyed, the universe ruined, and then Covenant's ring will explode, creating a new universe, slaying Covenant, and then it will transform into an evil demon dude and say "Friend I was always a thousand times more evil than thou" and run away laughing Er, sorry I...
