Review title: Harry, stay away from Conan
Product review: I personally love the Conan series of books and this is the first one that completely left me without a sense of wonder and awe. The only "good" part of the book was when Conan magically found a lost city. Other than that I was bored and really glad it was a short novel. Mr. Turtledove is an accomplished writer and has some very interesting takes on alternate histories, but he needs to leave Conan to those who understand him and what makes the stories vivid and unreal at the same time.Don't waste your time on this book while there are now collected volumes of Robert E. Howard's work along with some new artists. Reread the good stuff instead of swallowing the poorly written tale of Conan's early years. Formulaic and tedious, I still don't know why I bothered to finish it.
