You're welcome.

I love the bridge between the Word and Void series and Shannara.

I know a lot of people who came to the same conclusion.:)

This is starting to remind me of Star Wars.

I think Brooks' pace is fine, but even with Shannara, I'd like some more magic. I love Elfstones of Shannara because Wil overcomes his wariness and mistrust with magic. As for my suggestion, I'd go with David Eddings' The Belgariad (and then) The Mallorean series. The writing isn't amazing...

Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian Series.

I agree. I thought Polgara was good.

If only sean connery's voice was more American accented, I'd say him as Belgarath.

I believe that's the Seeress of Kell, but I may be wrong.

Belgarion.

Missile something or other for PSone. I could not get past level 5 - too many things to shoot before being shot.

Which Shannara descendant are you most like in terms of personality (this includes all of Shea's line)? I think I'm most like Wil Ohmsford - thoughtful and decisive (but then again, most of the main Ohmsfords are like that, aren't they? :rolleyes: )

For the first bold section, it's interesting to note that Tolkien, Lewis, and maybe Wells or some other prominent author of the day were friends. They were actually members of some close Christian circle. Therefore, it's easy to see how both wrote fantastical stories in relatively the same...

I think HP is so popular because we can relate to him, and even though the setting in which he lives is completely unrealistic, the manner in which he lives is very realistic.

Enchanter's Endgame is my favorite.

Garion because I can relate more to the man. Also, I think we see a little more into Garion's mind than we do into Errands - the boy anomaly. I wish Garion was written to be a little more witty, but then again, there's enough wit to go around with the rest of his company.

Do you still want one? Shannara can't really be described in a paragraph - it started off as a LOTR copy-off, but has evolved into something much different. Brooks has taken Shannara from straight up Tolkien fantasy and turned it into a mix of fantasy and futuristic fiction. The storyline is...

Same here - toward the end of Heritage and beginning of Voyage was when I think I began to see how Shannara may be set in our own world. This theory has spawned several more theories on what composes "magic" in Brooks' world.
