I've never made it through the first Amber book. I've even tried twice. Does it get better as I find the first very predictable and just boring.
I think an important thing when recommending books (and movies, and games) is to state WHEN you read/watched/played it. As an example I loved Eddings in my early 20's, now 20 years later, well, let's just say my taste has changed a bit. Books usually holds up pretty well compared to movies and games though, but there are exceptions..
Ain't no thang. I think it's been nearly 20 years since I read that series and probably about the same for you, so a little bit of memory fuzz is understandable. You're right about the "The Wizard ... " thing, now that I think about it. I think the first or second Wizard book is where I started having real trouble finding the books and just kinda bailed on the series. Still a solid recommendation, though.He follows eldest son, Magnus later and goes to The Wizard….He also had a one off with Cordelia and Geoffrey. Stasheff, thanks for the correction, DTE.
Started reading Amber series.. My first impression is typical pulp fiction, just like Eddings when i read it again a year ago. So instead i started reading Complete Tales of Conan, and there's a completely different quality to it. It might not be up there with Tolkien, but it doesnt feel like cheap pulp fiction and it feels like something i might actually finish.
