I want to learn about your theory! Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 20/07/2013 10:15:51 AM

I read Tigana after The Lions of al-Rassan, and while I thought it good, it doesn't hold a candle to The Lions of al-Rassan.

Granted, The Lions of al-Rassan is one of my favorite books, and quite possibly my favorite fantasy book.

MY experience was his novel Neverwhere... everynametaken - 18/07/2013 02:34:22 AM 1212 Views

Oh good. *chalks up another data point for the theory* (spoilers for Lions of al-Rassan) Legolas - 20/07/2013 12:18:32 PM 1093 Views
I read Tigana first, but much prefer Lions. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:49:10 PM 1166 Views
Yeah, I think we discussed that before. The exception that confirms the rule? Legolas - 20/07/2013 01:19:46 PM 1063 Views

I have only read American Gods and as the risk of being tarred and feathered I though it was just OK random thoughts - 25/07/2013 02:22:39 AM 1079 Views
I'm with you on that. MonCul - 27/07/2013 03:03:53 AM 1167 Views
Actually, I do agree that it's a bit overrated. Nate - 27/07/2013 05:30:41 PM 1254 Views
I never really liked 1602 Stephen - 28/07/2013 02:12:54 PM 1132 Views
It was probably the novelty that I liked. Nate - 04/08/2013 05:18:58 AM 1027 Views
He's definitely a good writer but not a personal favorite Isaac - 27/07/2013 02:24:25 AM 1154 Views
