What made it so unbearingly long and boring was also the fact that Thomas Covenant was not the most sympathetic of main characters.

Thomas was a jerk! I won't mince words. LOL
But I didn't find the stories boring at all.

Yes, I totally agree. Thomas was a vile person but thankfully changed during the story, grew into the hero. And it was not boring. But people with shorter attention spans probably had a hard time with all of the books.
