I like the series, but I wouldn't use "well-written" to describe the 1960s-1970s books Larry Send a noteboard - 26/01/2013 02:40:07 AM
"Amphetamine-hazed writing" would be more applicable for those. But for Moorcock's later (and mostly non-Elric) writing? Some of those are indeed fairly well-written, at least for the genres he wrote it.

Seems most of these Elric books don't go far beyond a hundred pages, so yeah... *NM* Legolas - 25/01/2013 11:35:28 PM 449 Views

Yeah. I don't really like fantasy but I know of the Elric series. It's well written, so they say. *NM* Tom - 26/01/2013 01:29:16 AM 463 Views
