Hi, Evan, did my ears detect some kind of time distortion in that sentence?
Regards, Kim.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Some Amusing Bad Writing


Hi Folks,
 
I'm submitting a BSO tomorrow of a book I just finished reading. The book is
Runelords: The Sum of All Men, the first book in the Runelords fantasy
series by David Farland. I am series captain for this eight book, (so far)
series.
 
It's actually a good book. Along with the conventional Fantasy elements, the
author adds some imaginative ideas of his own and explores them in depth.
The book also has greater moral complexity than a lot of Fantasy out there. 
 
But in my opinion, the writing could be better. Here is perhaps one of the
best examples that might give some of you a chuckle:
 
 By evening the clouds blew out of the region altogether, and warmer air now
suffused the night, almost as if it were any other afternoon in late summer.
 
 Evan
