My personal opinion is that he's an innovative thinker and imaginative writer, but his books could (and probably should) be about two hundred pages shorter than they are. I kind of love authors who get a rise out of people, though, even if it's for the wrong reasons. :)Bookmark Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268509613086029168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-59940981662195866162015-08-14T16:33:45.764-06:002015-08-14T16:33:45.764-06:00Seriously.

I should post your comment in my post and make it a full on argument post. Maybe we can make it thing.

What's THAT kind of nerd? Whatever it is, I guess I'm it!! :) I embrace all my nerd forms. DFTBA!!! Nerdfighters for the win!!!! Live long and prosper! May the force be with you!!! <br />2. It's so weird how I feel so opposite about his books! The world building is amazing and when reading the books I feel immersed and not explained to. Some authors feel a need to explain all, like I can't figure it out by just reading... he does NOT explain and just puts you in the world and you figure it out. THAT's how I see it anyway! And his worlds really are amazing so if he tends to feel proud about it... I say go for it dude!<br />3. I have no idea what to say for this point... LOL! These books are not for everyone that's for sure. But to have done what he's done is amazing, whether you like the books or not. To have landed that gig, seriously. Amazing. And from what I hear, everyone who has read his concluding books love them way better than the originals. So that's also pretty amazing.<br /><br />And there you have my come back. Not as snarky as I would have liked, but I tried. I'm too tired to be snarky today! But I stand by him. He does have a swagger, he knows he is loved by legions of adoring nerds, but I do think he's earned it and worked hard for it. You have to give it to him that he set out this goal back in the day and to have reached it with such success. It's cool. It really is.<br /><br />Should I shut up now???

Maybe I just never paid attention to the name. Nonetheless, it's not a horrible thing to not approve of another author's style. Just don't let it color your judgements too harshly. ;)H.R.
