Read it ages ago. It's not just a decent book, it would also make a pretty effective melee weapon. IMO the first three are as far as you need to read (Magician, Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon), after that it gets a bit formulaic and dull although you can hear the dice rolling in the background all the way through the first trilogy too.
There's also a 'director's cut' which is even thicker than the original edition!
There isn't a fantasy book out there that hasn't "borrowed" at least something from somewhere else. Tolkein was the first. Everyone else follows meekly in his wake.
