Spot's First Ball, Where's Wally - that kind of shizzle.

Spot's first ball was pretty good
but I think the series lost it's way by the time they got to Spot Visits the Farm. There were some seriously concerning subtexts in Who's There Spot, too

I thought they lacked a convincing protaganist to be honest.

Really?
I thought that was the one thing they had going for them, especially with the character development from the early books

totally shallow. You can see right through him.

But that is part of his charm
his naivety draws in the reader to his plights and adventures and helps us to identify with him. He is a flawed and shallow creature, but the fact that he is not a perfect hero makes him seem more human.

Spot is a fucking gaylord.

Is that the new book?

I'm never quite sure about it's translation to TV
Though I heard the film will be quite dark

The Redwall series are simple ones that I can pick up and finish in a few hours, good way of wasting a bit of time
Aside from that, it's usually either Tolkein or Pratchett books.

Oh man oh man oh man, is Redwall the one with the mice/rats/animals in the castle or something like that?
I'm sure I've read one as a kid, never finished it because I didn't really 'do' books when I was a kid, only started reading for pleasure when I was 18 or soo. I think I might make a return to them.

Aye, they're the ones
I've got about 20 of them, always a joy to go back to.

I don't know redwall
Tolkein is (obviously good), prachett I kind of like, but it gets a bit samey don't you find?

Have you heard of Tom Holt ?
I've read quite a few of his books, enjoyed them quite a bit. It's like Pratchet only in a modern-world setting.

I read one
but I think I only finished out of tenaciousness. I find comic fantasy/sci fi is often done really badly and tend to revolve around loldwarvesusinglaptopslol. Tom Holt wasn't the worst I didn't mind it in places, but I thought it was like he was just building a story around a few jokes.

Expecting Someone Taller and Who's Afraid of Beowulf were good
after that he seemed to be phoning it in.

I agree it has done in parts, but never to an extent where it really bothers me.
