Re:Is he as adict^H^H^H^H good s Robert Jordan? (Score 1)

I've read most of the Wheel of Time books and have read quite a bit of what Tad Williams has put out such as Tailchaser's Song, The Otherland series and Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. I like both authors a lot, but I have to say I prefer Tad Williams over Robert Jordan. Robert Jordan is addictive but his characters set my teeth on edge and makes me want to beat my head against a wall sometimes. A lot of them seem very one dimensional, even the supposed good guys and I have a hard time wanting to stay with these characters through their adventures. I have yet to have this problem with Tad Williams. I've enjoyed all his characters so far, even the bad guys. He manages to capture your interest in the people as well as the story line. He is also very good at vivid imagery that really sets your imagination spinning. If you want to try something by Tad Williams without being caught up in a series, try reading Tailchaser's Song. It is a relatively short book that is a standalone story and is very interesting. It's a fantasy type story from the perspective of cats.

Enjoy
