Om forfatteren

Tad Williams Tad Williams grew up in Palo Alto, California. He didn't go off to college after high school, he was more interested in living on his own and supporting himself. Williams therefore began a long string of collectively bad part time jobs. He stacked tiles, made tacos, sold shoes, peddled vis mere insurance, collected loans not all at the same time and worked at other things in his free moments, such as writing, as well as, several years in a rock band, hosting a radio talk show, making commercial and uncommercial art, acting, and others DAW was the first to publish Williams, accepting "Tailchaser's Song," which became an big success. It never occurred to Williams that his books wold not sell and indeed they have not stopped selling since the beginning. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

The Dragonbone Chair (Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, #1) af Tad Williams

I guess I wasn't ready for such an elaborate plot. I was often lost and felt that so many unpronouncable, and therefor, unmemorable, names were being thrown at me, of people, creatures, and places, that I couldn't keep up. Critical information delivered as a tale of the history of the land by the wizard to the young boy, and a laundry list of names delivered as the folks coming to attend the funeral of the king, made it feel like a dry history lesson devoid of an emotional life. Events were described that the characters couldn't identify as real or dreamed, making it even more challenging to follow. I went the entire 44 chapters (33 hours) and there were definitely characters, sections, descriptions, and elements to love...in fact there were many elements that are also found in the Game of Thrones, but not being a frequent visitor of the Fantasy genre, for all I know, might be common to most fantasies.… (mere)
