    <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[I think by the time I got to this book I was sick of the story and felt like the story line wasn't developing, but rather repeating.  I would recommend reading the First Chronicles and not worrying about the Second Chronicles.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I will never read Donaldson again (my husband did not learn this lesson - too bad for him). I call his style of writing mental masturbation. Sure the story is good but I can't see it through the metaphor and adjectives.]]></body>
