The first Amber book was good. After that they descended messily into self-gratification and family politics, both areas in which I need no hired hand.

Elric is good and dumb, but lavishly, lovingly, and gleefully so. Amber is bad and dumb and wants you to believe otherwise by dint of a great deal of pomp in the author's tone. Blah blah changing the world with my footsteps blah, I wanna fuck my daughter and my brothers hate me, blah blah. It's The Bible for people who like adjectives.


Holy retarded. Did you read the books? I'm guessing not. Don't take my word for it that you're 100% incorrect here, pick up the giant all 10 books-in-one and give it a go. Pomp. I'm just rereading what you said, here. Zelazny. Pomp. Yikes, that's stupid.
