Re: OT: Sword of Truth coming to television Fall 2
"Legend" was the best ten cents I ever spent.
At the time I was able to fit in reading a lot more than I can today, and because of that I spent a lot of time in used book stores. I was browsing the fantasy section of one such store and came across "Legend". At the time I had never read anything by Gemmel and was completely unfamiliar with the book. I picked it up on a whim, and with my store credit the cost came to a dime.
Sat down that evening at dinner and started reading it and was completely amazed. One thing you learn from picking up books on the cheap, there are *a lot* of really bad fantasy novels out there. "Legend" was not. Totally blew me away.
I sought out other stuff from Gemmel but I have to say nothing seemed to equal that first taste.
