I bet at least 100 people have recommended Rand to me and I've asked every one why and none of them could give me any real answer. Then I read the books and now I know why: because they suck. What I don't get is why people keep trying to pretend they don't suck. Take His Dark Materials. The last book sucks. I loved the first one. Ender's Game. Great book! The others? They suck. 2063?
