ok heres the thing...
sitting out in my garden and thought i'd just start the first one in the series (eye of the world) and see how it goes, it was like 3 quid or summat so i thought i'd give it a chance due to good reviews etc.
anyway, i've only read about 50 pages or so but i get the very distinct impression that this guy is just trying to blatantly rip off LOTR... what do we have so far:
• instead of the misty mountains, we have the "mountains of mist"
• instead of mount doom, we have the "mountains of dhoom"
now i dont mind persevering with it cuz like i said i've heard good reviews but i was just after some assurance from someone saying its just a coincidence and the story is nothing alike, cant be bothered to read it if its just a parody to LOTR if you get my drift?
anyway, back outside
- gonna go back on the lawn and have a kip - the only reason i'm asking all this is that im a pretty slow reader and dont want to spend like 6 weeks reading a booking which is a bit too familiar
cheers
