Interesting read for people who really like the Covenant books - if you can find it. Otherwise skip it.
To think, had I read this when it was published (the 1990s) I would have been unsurprised when the final Covenant series was announced.

A critical review of Stephen R. Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Nothing really new here. All his hypothesis' were already pretty much shared by myself. Nevertheless it was fun to revisit some of the themes in his books, which I haven't read in a few years. Also, this book included two interviews that Mr. Senior had with Donaldson. These were very insightful as to what Donaldson felt about his works. I'm glad I read it, as I'm a big fan of Donaldson's work.
