He manages to create a very real world, quite different from our own. The character development is thorough and the story line draws the reader into the book in an all-consuming way. The story revolves around Thomas Covenant, a leper who finds himself in a world where magic exists. What is unique about this book is that the main character finds it as difficult to believe that it is happening to him as I would myself. The book has much to say about belief systems and the human emotional situation. John Van Zandt Loral Instrumentation uucp: ...ucbvax!sdcsvax!jvz
