Title: Just plain BORING!
Product review: I was about 200 pages into this book before I realized that I just did not want to read it. It was becoming a huge effort just to pick it up and plod through a few pages. You will hear other people here complain about how Thomas Covenant is hard to sympathize with, and how he rapes a girl, etc. I was prepared to deal with that. What I wasn't prepared for was extremely long, boring and contrived descriptions of "the Land". Donaldson spends WAY too much effort in trying to convince the reader of how the Land is this magical place to which its inhabitants are connected in a vital way unlike here on earth. What he suceeds in is only creating an extremely boring novel that is pathetic in its attempt to engage the reader's imagination.
