First 2 chapters are slow but when you get to the land it picks up and becomes a great book.

I bought and started to read Lord Foul's Bane. In the first 100 pages Donaldson made me mad. Few authors get to me that way, so I put the book aside for years. I picked it up again and rushed through it and the rest. I can still the the Land in my mind's eye. One of the best fantasy series ever.

Guessing you only read 1 book or not even that ? But in my opinion the Thomas Covenant series are one of the all time best reads, and this is coming from a long time fantasy reader for past 35 years

Stephen R Donaldson's saga of Thomas Covenant was one of the most unique things I read as a teenager. It was at times both repellant and inspiring. The only flaw in an otherwise awesome trilogy is Donaldson's penchant for overly descriptive and confusing text. He has a need to use the most obscure words and unnecessary terms. When I first read this trilogy I had to go back and forth between the novel and a dictionary to find out what was going on! It was much easier to read the second time around.

This was written in the 70s, not the 80s.
