The Story

I never read his books, but I always hear about them. I suppose that once I'm done with Harry Potter, I should give them a shot.

No. Avoid the Books at all costs. They are rambling, wordy, and repetitive. I stopped reading at #6.

While I feel sadness for anyone passing, especially how he did, while doing no malice, I must say this. Some people serve only as a warning to others.

Mister Jordan's warning was that you have to finish the story.
Half-Damned, All Hero.

Tev: You're happy. You're Plotting. You're Evil.
Me: Evil is so inappropriate. I'm ruthless.
Tev: You're turning me on.

In Jordan's defense, he apprantely spent alot of time on finishing the story. It seems there are quiet a bit of notes and timelines and such already written and he had discussed how the story should have went with his wife. His wife Harriet has reportly said she will finished the story based on those notes, timelines and discussions. I would have to say he did the best he could.
