A review by flollmanders
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks

2.0

Well, that was painful. I have absolutely no memory of reading this book as a kid, actually. I must have started with the second book. I wanted to re-read (?) the trilogy since they're going to make it into a television show, but now I find out that *they* are starting with the second book too...because this one is kind of terrible! I resorted to skimming in places. Yeah. So my new advice would be to read the wikipedia article on this one and move right along.
