| Yikes! Not fifteen! I couldn't make it through any more than the first 
| three. 
| 
| As to what I think of the books: GARBAGE! GARBAGE! GARBAGE!
| 
| Covenant doesn't seem real to me. His actions don't make sense.
| The reason I read as much of it as I did was to pick out more of the
| background (which makes a good setup for a DND campaign).

Such is your opinion.  I guess it's only to be expected; people can only
judge from experience.  Most people who've never experienced being an
outcast wouldn't be able to understand, much less judge clearly.

Suffice it to say that I can relate to enough of Thomas Covenant's actions
and feelings that I can easily conjecture that what I can't understand
is a result of his being just about the ultimate outcast.  It would fit
with my experience.

I find Linden Avery (second Chronicles) hard to understand and harder
to accept.  But I have never had *her* experiences, so I cannot judge.
Anyone out there willing to step forward?
