Mister Monkey Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I do have the Thrawn books...... I found them ok but they did not blow me away. One of the main reasons I think I did not read many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ah, fair enough. I know the feeling. I ran into the same thing with Lovecraft, lol. Tons of friends who love it, read through all of Call of Cthulhu and went '...huh. Okay.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah I was kind of the same when I read through some of his stories...... love the ideas, not so much the writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 His was one of the three books I took on the cruise and ended up the only one I had left to read, and it was a hard slog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah. Just not my style preference, honestly. Same with things like Lord of the Rings. I much prefer stories that focus in deep on the characters, which is more of a recent thing in scifi and fantasy which used to really be about the worlds or the plot more than the characters.

edonil Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I got more annoyed when the Battle of Helm's Deep was two pages long, lol. And I skipped a lot to find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 You need at least ten pages for that. How else will I know what the meadow looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ha ha yeah..... it is comparable to a lot of modern movies I think, where they tend to focus more on the cgi effects then on the story or character development.....
