Atticus O'Sullivan

What do you think of Atticus?
He's lived a long time...what historical events might he remember vividly?

[Enjee, Founder]

When Atticus was first described...a tea-drinking bearded young-looking man wearing sandals with an affinity for the earth...I immediately thought of him as a hippie.
However, his attractiveness to various goddesses and his sword-wielding skills can lead someone to a different conclusion.
So what do you think...hippie or hunk?
Take the poll:
Hippie or Hunk?

[Sans]

I hadn't read any books about Druids before and only one or two books written from a male POV. I'm more than a little tired of kick-ass heroines, thinking their untouchable and just so awesome. Atticus was confident but still humble, tough, respectful and capable. Just a great character.

*whispers* I say hunk. Especially going by the model on the book cover.

[Enjee, Founder]

I completely agree.

There is another series with a Druid as the main character that I thought was pretty good. It doesn't seem to get much fanfare, though:




and a sister series in the same world:

I think I have the first Connor Grey book at home already. I really need to check it out. Thanks!

[Garrett]

I've seen those on the shelves.

As to the hippie or hunk question, I think the only answer I can give is "Yes."

[Ricotn]

Now I'll add Mark Del Franco to my Nook's wish list.

I'll say Hunk...I'm really partial to red hair.

According to legend, were Druids really able to shapeshift?

[Garrett]

Depends on the legends.

[Kevin]

Yes. :) The Tuatha De Danann certainly could and did, and I recall at least one tale in which a Druid shifted to a deer.

[Garrett]

See? WoK. :)

I concur :) Totally hunk mainly because of his attitude!
