The reason I loathe Donaldson is because I felt like I was going to be sick fifty
pages into the first book in the gap series.  I rarely stop reading a book, because
I don't think it's fair to form an opinion of a work without being fully aware of
it, but I put that book down pretty quickly.  I felt like I was reading loathsome
fan fiction, and I wouldn't really want to read anything that he wrote.  

Also the Gap book titles are sooooo bad.
