- Explications
- lorax: I actually finished this one, gave up after Book 2, but there's no one book to determine if you're a fantasy fan. You can dislike this, because of the violence or for any other reason, and still consider yourself a fantasy fan.Cecrow : Any fantasy aficionado read this as a breath of fresh air when it was first published, and the genre has not been the same since.merrystar: Have to disagree with Cecrow; I have always read and enjoyed fantasy, but could not finish this when I tried to read it in the late 1990s.

- Explications
- merrystar : Required reading, or I doubt I'd have even started it.cej1027 : Took three tries and the motivation of a better book if I'd just finish a chapter each day, but I made it through. I still think it's trash though.waltzmn: Modern fiction. Bah. If you're going to assign a book in a literature class (which is the only reason I went near it), at least least let it be a book where you learn something from the unspoken background assumptions. This book is one of the reasons I prefer non-fiction. I freely admit that this is personal taste.
