I read these years ago when I was still in my teens and they did keep me reading, but, like LoTR, I found parts of them really hard going, from what I remember they were overly descriptive and I found it hard to stay interested. I remember wanting to slap old TC a few times, and though I can remember waiting avidly for the next installment I can also remember forcing myself to finish some of them.
However, I think my reading tastes have changed over the years and I've no desire to pick up the new Covenant books. I'm not sure how I'd feel about reading them now after reading GRRM etc. I think at the time I read them they were in a league of their own in the genre. I enjoyed the Mirror duology more than TC but they were an easier read.
I certainly didn't feel the need to have a dictionary or medical reference book to hand as I read them, but then I was an avid reader back then.
