Story
Fire. Wind. Pestilence. Earthquake. Drought. Lightning. These are the six Decimates, wielded by sorcerers for both good and evil. But a seventh Decimate exists - the most devastating one of all. For centuries, the realms of Belleger and Amika have been at war, with sorcerers from both sides harnessing the Decimates to rain blood and pain upon their enemy. But, somehow, in some way, the Amikans have discovered and invoked a seventh Decimate, one that strips all lesser sorcery of its power.

Publisher's Summary
Thomas Covenant is a leper, a bitter and solitary pariah who is mystically transported to another Earth where time moves differently than ours, one in which magic takes many forms. The Land is threatened by many evils, the most immediate of which is a maddened Cavewight whose subterranean excavations have unearthed the ancient and puissant Staff of Law.
More dangerous to the free people of the Land is the Gray Slayer, Lord Foul, the Despiser, who intends to destroy the actual foundations of the Earth that he might wage war against the universe’s creator. And Foul’s intended weapon in this conflict? None other than Thomas Covenant himself.

Story ruined by narrator
I read the series back in the 80's and I thought it was great. However when it comes to the audio version, the narrator ruins it. He talks in a drawl which in my opinion, is like listening to a preacher giving a sermon.

Wonderful in every regard
This is the only book I have come across that can be meaningful compared to The Lord Of The Rings, because the quality of the writing, the depth of characters and world building are similar to The Lord Of The Rings, but it does not borrow any ideas from it.
The Lord Of The Rings is so rich and so complete, that it makes it very difficult to construct another story that is equally complete without copying anything, but Donaldson managed to do exactly that.
I first read this book as a young teen, and was totally enthralled. I was wondering if it would still have that appeal for me 40 years later, and was not at all disappointed. This is a true masterpiece of fictional writing that listers of all ages can lose themselves in.

A Fantasy Classic, beautifully written
One of my all time favourite series, it was great to hear it once again. The writing is beautiful and moving, and the struggle between heroism and despair, between responsibility and impotence, is extraordinary. The reading was not what the best I have ever heard, but these books are so well crafted that it does not matter. Highly recommend!

Just awful
Just like the main character this story is irredeemable. No world building, the secondary characters are flat and one dimensional, the main character is a whiny, self obsessed rapist who shows no remorse or inclination towards betterment. I lasted as long as I did listening to this in the hopes that they just killed him off. The narration didn't help it any but nothing could save this trash.

Ugh. Zero stars. I think i caught leprosy.
Spoiler alert!! Hours of my life I will never get back. I just wanted it to stop. In the end, i could not finish the last 43 minutes. The ‘protagonist’ has zero redeemable qualities. I hoped this was just a novel character. Unfortunately, he is not only a whiny rapist pedophile, he is also a manic depressive leper. Hes a leper. We get it. Its the excuse the author uses for every missed opportunity in the story. Belligerent and rude? Hes a leper. Doesnt want to do anything or participate? Leper. Sulky and non interactive with other characters? Because hes a leper. Hours and hours of depressive inner monologue that justifies nothing at all. Every single character has the same personality. It is a 2 dimensional gruff lecturing dialogue in every interaction. Not one character evolution or interesting distinction among them. I drowned in the pretentious inane verbiage. The author actually refers to writers as gods so good for him. Most of the sentences were long words strung together in a confusing pointless effluence. Ie: what does ‘the wings of fluttering midnight beat against my cheeks’ mean? Even the attempt at flowery speech is repetitive. Also, the guy has leprosy. Even though he ate healing plants. There is virtually no world building. In fact, this is addressed and excused by the author as the protagonist being too grumpy to notice his surroundings. So he takes our hand and yanks us along on a journey with barely a glimpse around, and 2 characters with different faces (probably, since their descriptions are vague) to do a bunch of eating and beating on vaguely described demons that they dont really want to hurt, (why? They seem pretty mean and evil) to go somethere for some reason (trust the author since the characters cant explain why) (head scratch) to listen to suicidal depressive thoughts of guilt and.... wait, theres magic! Theres magic? Well there is at least when the plot needs it. We are told there is magic, but not much more. Again. Our depressed leper doesnt care enough about it to make it interesting . There was an attempt at a humorous character... at least we are told he is humorous, but no proof. Hey! dont worry, he becomes depressed and irrelevant half way through too. Im just so sick of the lepers rude distain for his own story. I didnt need hours of dialogue of him sulking about his divorce. And in the end the characters are all the same, the world is inherently unchanged and the pointless journey to get the leper back into a world where he was suicidal and unredeemed was probably! the reward he got for wasting my time. Nothing redeemable here.

Disappointing
great story, beautifully written....made intolerable by a bad reading. every line is delivered the same way, setting up an insufferable short pattern of invariable cadence and intonation. its what bad actors do to add 'drama' and import to their performances. he strikes posture of disdain that, despite being sometimes appropriate, when applied to every phrase, is unsustainable for the listener. too bad, the text really deserves better. will switch to reading, instead.
