Re: Terry Brooks

I've just skimmed through this entire discussion and am impressed at some of the recommendations. I was surprised that there was only one mention of Terry Brooks and that was negative. Granted that Terry himself acknowledges that the first novel was heavily influenced by Tolkien, but we are now up to nine Shannara novels and the tenth will be out in September. Obviously there are a lot of people who are buying them. I've not read them all, but the ones I have read suggest that Brooks only got better and more original as he went along.
