Title: I loved this when I was 15, now I know better
Product review: I thought this book (and series) was great when I was 15 years old. I recently re-read Lord Foul's Bane and wondered "What was I thinking?"Now, I simply cannot get past the whining main character. Thomas Covenant tries to justify raping a 16 year old on his Unbeliever schtick and pules and whines throughout the book. Frankly, I wanted to smack him. I suppose when I was 15, his excuses seemed reasonable. Now I know they're ridiculous nonsense.I suppose in 1977, The Thomas Covenant Chronicles were an epic fantasy in a genre with a wide audience looking for another Lord of the Rings. Today, there's a whole library of superior epic fantasy to choose from. Don't waste your time with this thin gruel.
