My experience has been different: Narg Send a noteboard - 19/04/2010 09:04:27 PM
I actually enjoyed TGH a little more than I did EOTW. And I enjoyed them both more the second time I read them.

I have less problems with the prose than you do, though I suspect your education and career have something to do with that. I read these books purely for diversion at the end of the day, and without too critical an eye.



A little learning is a dangerous thing.
