even if you can ignore that the guy spends half the book essentialy curled into as ball trying to ignore what is happening to him- in context i could accept that for a while but it never ends.......

I'll have to agree with you on this...LOTR remix for the Sword of Shannara
And the Thomas Covenant series...oi, how depressing.
I actually got through the first few thinking he might do something productive.
But "The One Tree" has got to be the worst (longest fuckin' boatride in the world)
However, I would have to say that Robert Jordan's latest book in the "Great Wheel" saga
is one of the worst one I've read most recently.
Now THAT one is tedious, details about EVERYTHING but the plot goes nowhere. (talk about filler)
