Chronicles

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever were a difficult read for me. I read book one about five years ago. One event in the book disturbed me quite a bit, so I let the series drop and didn't read the next one until now.
The genre is epic fantasy, but it is unlike any other that I have ever read. Thomas Covenant is an anti-hero with leprosy, who alternates between two worlds. Maybe writers need to tell the whole story even though the reader might not think he wants to know the whole story.
