"Book Review of: Hunt at the Well of Eternity" Topic

Hey Guys:

I didn't go into any plot-spoiling detail in my review. There were a few scenes that would make good pulp-skirmish scenarios, which make this book worth picking up.

I bought this and "Hunt and the Cradle of Fear" at the same time. I found "Well of Eternity" to be achingly corny, far-fetched, and extremely demanding for you to suspend disbelief for just one more action-packed sequence. In comparison, I much prefered the writing style and delivery to "Cradle of Fear".

Finding the books to be relatively uneven, I have not dared to pursue the series with further reading …

I have the other two books, as well, but have yet to read them. "Hunt Through the Cradle of Fear" was written by Gabriel Hunt's creator Charles Ardai, while "Hunt at the World's End was by Nicholas Kaufmann. So the writing styles--for bettor, or worse--will undoubtedly differ.

What I admired about Reasoner's style, was his ability to maintain the pace and action, no matter how achingly corny and far fetched.

I managed to breeze through this book in a few days. Which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your point of view! :)
