The English translations are said to be very, very bad. Also, I read the books in order of 5, 4, then 6. So I don't know if my tolerance for the writing style would have been helped by reading 1, 2, and 3 first in order.
I don't know if the writing style works better in other languages, but I sure hope so, because a lot of people really, really like the books and I'm left wondering why. ;-)
I do think I need to try again with the earlier books, but I really don't like repetition when it serves no useful purpose (I get impatient and skim the paragraphs until something happens.
I did like the Dark Horse comics, although the naked women thing got really old really fast. They really only focused on Geralt, but it was a really interesting introduction to his character. (Old man has been there, done that, is very tired and done with your bullshit.)
