Comments on Slog Commenter Book Report 2: Comte Does The Gypsy Morph

Isn't Comte that asshole who fantasizes about running down every cyclist in town with his car?

I've long suspected the final battle royal against the forces of darkness will take place in Eastern Washington.

I just BOUGHT a bicycle - which I fully intend to ride - any day now.

Fine review except to describe a fantasy novel as "Tolkienesque" is an unnecessary distinction as every fantasy novel is Tolkienesque. As to the Battle of Evermore being in Eastern WA, hell yes! and I know where the orcs are assembling (Colville).

I read only one of Terry Brooks's books (The Sword of Shannara), and I have to say it was particularly, egregiously Tolkienesque. Two young guys living in a pastoral paradise when a wizard shows up and sends them on a quest. On the way they join up with an elf, a dwarf, and a human prince whose kingdom is in trouble. Oh, and the bad guys wear black robes and ride on flying things.

I really like these reader reviews. They are far more interesting and just as educated as the ones done by most book reviewers.
