Title: Thomas Covenant the Unbelievable
Product review: To their fans, works of such perrennial popularity become impervious to critism, but if you're a careful reader and demand (as do fans of Hard SF, for example) a fairly high standard of verisimilitude and common-sense in a character's behavior, you may find The Chronicles too vulnerable to logic to be entirely successful. On a lesser note, I was continually reminded that Donaldson's indebtedness to Tolkien is too significant to go unacknowledged by the author. Those who seek the dark, introspective Fantasy departure that this book strives to be would be more challenged by Mervyn Peake's brilliant, underappreciated (in the U.S.) Gormenghast novels.
