David Eddings' books ... one or all of them... NEED to be made into movies. With all the sorry-ass movies that have come out lately... a new fantasy fiction is welcoming. It's time.

Good questions, but Eddings makes feeble answers. It's surprising that a man who writes long works can come up with so little in an interview. Does this make his work less interesting? No. But it makes his person less aimiable.

I've been a longtime fan of Eddings' books and have all of them, including the new series The Dreamers. However I have to be honest I found The Dreamers boring and repetitious. I have a lousy habit of having to have all the books in a series before I read them which, in this case, was definitely a mistake! If I'd read the first one I would never have bought the other three. I did seriously wonder if they were meant to be childrens books as they are written in such a simplistic style. I also don't think David Eddings comes over very well at all in this interview and it has lowered my opinion of him somewhat. I do think his older books will be classics and always be in print - maybe he/they should stop writing while they're ahead!

I discover Fantasy by reading Edding's books and share it with some people whom are now fantasy addict. The characters are fun and still truthfull. Like old friends it's allways a pleasure to spend some time with them. Thanks to the Eddings for these great books and thanks to this interview which help me remember how much I love their work. Now I feel the need to read the Rivan Codex again.

I must admit that the Dreamers is not as good as some of his previous works but it is still far superior to some of the newer writers on the scene. Keep up the good work David and Leigh. I love the characters who are so easy to identify with. Would love to read more non-fantasy though (The Losers is one of my fav books).
