That's an apt description of the protagonist. Thank you.

I read Sword of Shannara and thought it was awful. I was very much put off by how similar it was to Lord of the Rings, and my inner sense of cognitive dissonance kept ringing because the writing was so clumsy and awkward. I did, however, recently read and enjoy "Magic Kingdom for Sale". Not the best book around, but it was cheap and I wanted some comforting fantasy.

How did you mange to get past the, um, "prose" in "Magic Kingdom? It was all I could do not to toss the book against the wall in some patches.
