The Sword of Shannara (The Original Shannara Trilogy, #1) (Shannara)

by Terry Brooks

Living in peaceful Shady Vale, Shea Ohmsford knew little of the troubles that plagued the rest of the world. Then the giant, forbidding Allanon revaled that the supposedly dead Warlock Lord was plotting to destory the world. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness was the Sword of Shannara, which could only be used by a true heir of Shannara--Shea being the last of the bloodline, upon whom all hope rested. Soon a Skull Bearer, dread minion of Evil, flew into the Vale, seeking to destroy Shea. To save the Vale, Shea fled, drawing the Skull Bearer after him....From the Paperback edition.

As much as I want to read the series. The writing is too much for me. Too much unnecessary details.
I giving it 2 stars because I believe the story should be good if not great, but I won't finish the book because I don't like the way the author tell the story. Now if there's a movie based on these series, I might be able to enjoy it, if only if I'm in a watching-movie mood, which unfortunately is almost never.
