Title: Excruciating
Product review: I've read quite a lot of books in my time, but Lord Foul's Bane holds the dubious honour of being the first book that I have been unable to complete.Reading this book was like watching grass grow. I found the pacing to be excruciatingly slow. I felt as though the first 100 pages could have been condensed into about 25 pages. I forced myself to make it halfway through because a friend had told me about the plot and I thought it sounded quite interesting; however, I found Donaldson's writing style to be incredibly painful.Obviously Stephen Donaldson appeals to some readers, but I'm not one of them. I've tried another of his books and I gave up on that too. His style does not suit my taste at all.
