    <body><![CDATA[This series is a good example of me reading books just because I hate not finishing or I hate not knowing the ending of a series. The only problem with these is that he keeps writing them. The main reason that I do not like this series is that I do not like the main, main character Thomas Covenant. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24876571">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[See review for Book 1 in 2nd chronicles.<br/>Note of interest - cover artwork published outside the US for the ship in the story (by Peter Goodfellow) bore striking resemblance to the LP album cover for Sail On Sailor: Mustard Seed Faith.  Great book, fascinating plot and characters.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this as a teenager, and found it to be a real page-turner - it's about a character afflicted by leprosy, who moves between two different dimensions, each one with its own rules of time and space. For some reason I identified with the themes as a teenager. I can't imagine why.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Stephen Donaldson rapidly grows in my estimation. Not only does each new book introduce me to new vocabulary (about which I am unashamedly nuts), the characterization is superb and the writing is great. ]]></body>
