Just to test a pet theory of mine... Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/07/2013 06:33:51 PM

View original postI just have to chip in and say I found Tigana a chore to read. It's quite Tolkien-esque in style, if not in content, and I found it all quite predictable and plodding.

Have you read Lions of al-Rassan, and if so, did you like it? Did you read it before or after Tigana?

MY experience was his novel Neverwhere... everynametaken - 18/07/2013 02:34:22 AM 834 Views

I want to learn about your theory! Ghavrel - 20/07/2013 10:15:51 AM 764 Views
Oh good. *chalks up another data point for the theory* (spoilers for Lions of al-Rassan) Legolas - 20/07/2013 12:18:32 PM 754 Views
I read Tigana first, but much prefer Lions. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:49:10 PM 820 Views
Yeah, I think we discussed that before. The exception that confirms the rule? Legolas - 20/07/2013 01:19:46 PM 754 Views

I have only read American Gods and as the risk of being tarred and feathered I though it was just OK random thoughts - 25/07/2013 02:22:39 AM 758 Views
I'm with you on that. MonCul - 27/07/2013 03:03:53 AM 749 Views
Actually, I do agree that it's a bit overrated. Nate - 27/07/2013 05:30:41 PM 876 Views
I never really liked 1602 Stephen - 28/07/2013 02:12:54 PM 770 Views
It was probably the novelty that I liked. Nate - 04/08/2013 05:18:58 AM 695 Views
He's definitely a good writer but not a personal favorite Isaac - 27/07/2013 02:24:25 AM 800 Views
