> > That's a pretty big stretch. I mean sure you've got the whole evil Empire and rebels thing, but it's vastly different otherwise. <br>> <br>> I highly suspect that the main character is actually the son of the big bad guy, ala Luke and Darth Vader. <br>> <br>> Also, you've got the guy who finds him and gives him his first bit of training (Obi Wan), who then takes him to the wizened old elf dude (Yoda) for further training. <br>> <br>> > I dunno. I enjoyed it, and it is one of the few decent books I could think of that was about a nobody becoming a some body. <br>> <br>> That's a pretty common theme for fantasy books. The whole Shanarra series by Terry Brooks comes to mind.

George RR Martin is a good read.

Balrahd 1064 November 02, 2007 02:50PM

Turtledove is good stuff. I liked Guns of the South n/t

Lokain 1007 November 02, 2007 02:52PM

Magician and Eragon are both good. (nt)

Cointreau 1057 November 02, 2007 04:52PM

Eragon was engaging, but I wouldn't call it &quot;good&quot;. txt

Isildur 1034 November 02, 2007 06:10PM

Eh.

It's not surprising. The guy who wrote it is younger than most of us.

Sword of truth series is worth reading~

ExPaladin 1026 November 03, 2007 09:27AM

I read the first half of the first one. Thought it was kinda floofy n/t

Lokain 1037 November 03, 2007 10:15AM

It gets better, second and third books are much better

ExPaladin 1085 November 03, 2007 12:27PM

A few suggestions

Treebeard 1084 November 03, 2007 10:25AM

RR Martin's work annoyed me

Randomizer 1044 November 03, 2007 10:35AM

If you were to insert Martin where you typed Jordan and vice versa

Lokain 1004 November 03, 2007 01:06PM

Jordan and Martin in a nutshell [Possible Spoilers]

jegec 1006 November 05, 2007 02:45PM

I know Martin is supposedly 7 books, but it reads like a trilogy right now IMO

Balrahd 1055 November 06, 2007 09:38AM

I could see that

jegec 1047 November 06, 2007 12:18PM

Now that you mention it, that's true for me, too.
