The story itself was rather more relevant to today than I expected for a book written in 1986.

But that was a week ago, so here are some general thoughts and impressions instead:<br/><br/>The first part of the book takes place in Chicago.

In fact, I never finished the series, having only read the first three books. They were just too silly for me, after reading his more serious Shannara series.

The premise is that a lawyer in Chicago is browsing a department store Christmas wishbook (of very exclusive one-of-a kind items for the rich) and comes across an ad for a magic kingdom for sale.  He buys it and ends up the king of the magic kingdom.  I think the author di...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32140738">more...</a>]]></body>
