Title: Boring tale of a do-nothing whiner
Review: These are the ultimate fantasy action stories for the Me generations. In other words, Merlin is a self-centered whiner who accomplishes absolutely nothing on his own. He is repeatedly saved by pure chance or through the heroic actions and/or sacrifices of his family members and friends (why he has any of the latter is never explained). To the extent that he has any impact on the plot, it is merely through accidental, uncontrolled use of his magic. The moral of the stories appears to be:-- one need not apply oneself-- one can coast purely on raw talent or skill -- people will like and appreciate you merely on the basis of that talent and skill-- hence, one can wander through life in a self-absorbed fog.Please do not buy these horrible books. If given them (as we were), throw them away.
