On numerous occasions I have tried to explain to my friends the story of Thomas Covenant and halfway through I give up because I cant articulate all the nuances, the details, and the feelings that these books have. There are no other books that I have read that can make my heart rejoice while at the same time makes it break. No other novels mix joy and tradgedy like The Covenant books. The characters that Donaldson creates are the most amazing literary creations in history. If the people in our world today had half the dignity, unselfishness, integrity, and love that the people of the land have, we would not be in this social nightmare that we find ourselves in. Concerning the movie, Harrison Ford should not be Covenant, the role belongs to Tom Hanks! Scincerely, Jason
