Please do not take my or anyone else's personal opinions as a bash on anyone. I am merely stating an opinion. The majority of people on this list today have been very favorable to Mr Eddings. Obviously I read his books, they couldn't have been that bad. I just wouldn't read anything new by him. John Barbato
