You will give it away just to keep from burning it.

The first book? Pretty cool. It's interesting, it holds your attention without a massive overtone of Aynal Randian suck. Then it quickly becomes not only a repetitive onslaught of the same tired uberman coming to save the day all the while spouting a message that makes absolutely no sense in context or out of context, further coupled with a world that could only be imagined by a man who has never touched social science and you have a steaming pile. One might say I am too harsh but you need only read the books. They captivate for a moment until you think back and say "Wait, not only is he repeating the same thing over and over again(gee capitalism gets you laid, communism is somehow massively ineffective yet can still rape and pillage an entire continent with ease)and effectively repeating the same plot elements and trying to say SOMETHING about prophecy but considering the context of his tales you never quite know what, you will regret paying for these books. I am no literary mastermind by any means but I have never felt so used for buying books in my life, would that I believed in burning books but there would be no benefit from the censorship. If you read them take note of how not to do things.
