Agreed, with the exception of the words "Genesis of". (Speaking of which, I'll never forget the spot in the fist book where a character was introduced as "Allannon". I kept expecting him to pull out a 12-step plan. Land of Bad Names, indeed.)

Say Dennis, are we counting kids'/YA books? I recently ran across one of the sequels to The Diamond in the Window, and while not horrible, it certainly lacked the surreal quality, as well as the slightly wacky charm, of the original.
