. But in this age of instant thrills oand three second attentions spans, children are more likely to pick up the slimmer more colourful fantasy books first. Therefore when faced with Brooks who is essentially "Fisherprices 'My First Tolkien Spin-Off'", the grubby hands reach into grubbier pockets.

The Shannara series is hardly slimmer than any of Tolkiens books, anyone who has The Elfstones of Shannara or The Wishsong of Shannara should find that comment amusing. The Shannara series is hardly a fisherprice version of Tolkien, one who has read the entire series would know that. If Brooks is a plagiarist, then so is every other fantasy author including Tolkien who's ideas came from other sources also.
