Title: Don't Bother
Review: I am an avid fantasy reader and I was looking for something new and fun. I looked online to see if there were any popular fantasy books/series/authors I had yet to read and Terry Brooks' "Sword of Shannara" was one that many people recommended. So, without even reading the jacket or checking out the first chapter, I bought the Kindle edition of the trilogy. This was probably one of the worst book purchase mistakes I have ever had the misfortune to make. The writing is bland and stilted. The characters and plot are so predictable I was out of my mind with boredom. I finished the first book wondering why on earth I had wasted my time with it, but I figured, since it was Brooks' first book, the series might get better. I was wrong. The subsequent books were just as dull and plodding. I would *not* recommend these books to anyone.
