Groan! Another of my Favorite Authors gone.
I remember the first time I found one of is books, and how I was hooked.
I Remember it taking me weeks to get book 4 of the Belgaried as the local books stores were out of stock, waiting for a new edition.
Now, I'm going to have to go on a proper rereading bing (Especially as I just finished my Exams today) and reread his books
Speaking of his books

By all means, people. Try the "Dreamers" series. Decide for yourself.

The Main reason people (Including me ) discourage reading The Dreamers, or at least starting with it is that it is the weakest of his series, not in terms of story, but in terms of Editing, with large sections of each book being very repetitive and poorly formatted (Kind of like a bad Fanfic at times
).
So if someone new to his works started with it, they may not go o to read his better works which would really be a shame.
Once some is hooked, then they are more then welcome to read anything and everything he wrote.
