I would love to buy this book, because Robert E. Howard may as well be a god. For those of you who wonder who this amazing author is, I am here to tell you that Howard is probably the greatest fantasy writer that I have ever seen. His writing is intricate and passionate. Before you subject yourself to reading Robert Jordan's rendition of Howard's "Conan," read the original stories, because I can bet a thousand dollars that Howard is rolling in his grave as we speak, cursing the bastards that took his amazing character and twisted it into their own making. But, I digress...
