Dana,What reading level are The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant ?

What makes the Gap series stand out ? I am looking for good science fiction for my son. He did hate and could not finish the Catcher In The Rye calling the character one miserable whiney #%^ ...well you know. Seems like the main character of the Chronicles is a bit like that?

I'd put the reading level of Thomas Covenant Chronicles at about early high school.

Thomas Covenant is indeed a world-class whiner. Two worlds' class, actually, which is strange considering that when here on earth he is a hard-bitten, surly, competent adult. Stick him in the middle of a land with magickal powers and he becomes a big, whiny baby. I did not like the books, although I did read the first two trilogies, just to make sure. I even have a boxed set of the first three books.
