Title: An utter waste of time and paper
Product review: Terry Brooks' only brilliant move was glomming on to the popularity of Tolkein's works before anyone else did. Recently I decided to try any book that didn't have "Shannara" in the title just to see if perhaps he had an original thought of his own. [He doesn't--this is a bad melding of THE GOLDEN COMPASS and WATCHERS.] It shows the same limited vision and writing ability that his earlier works demonstrate. I tried to like it, I really did. Bottom line: The book was awful.
