Did anyone ever read the Earthsea books?

[fictional]

If so...DO NOT watch the sci-fi channel version, as it surpasses Alexander levels of bad.

I will have to go off about this in more detail later.

They...they...made everyone white. Except Ogion...who is Danny Glover (!!!!!)
There's an evil-slut priestess; also evil Kargish king trying to conquer the world!
Ged whines like he dropped into the archipelago from the O.C. or some other equally inappropriate teen drama.

GAH.
