It wasn't that negative Larry Send a noteboard - 08/11/2011 05:05:56 PM
Despite calling it one of Sanderson's best works, the tone of this review suggests that you find the novel to be, perhaps, a step above trash.

I was going to piggy back my review as a comment in yours, but I think I'll post mine later today as a separate thread.


I find, what's the term? "Popcorn novels?", to be two steps above trash :P

It was also written as a retort of sorts to some discussions on Westeros, where I also copy/pasted this review, thus some references to who may love and who may find it more of the same. Doesn't help when I write it after reviewing the latest Eco ;)

Yes, he's a clearly step above Goodkind or Dan Brown. Tom - 08/11/2011 05:54:24 PM 586 Views
And a few steps down from Eco, Proust, Perec, and a few others I've read recently Larry - 08/11/2011 05:58:54 PM 598 Views

It might be hit and miss, but the hits would be worth it, if you ask me. Legolas - 09/11/2011 08:37:16 PM 525 Views

I'm not clear if you're trying to reference Dan Quayle or if you're really a complete moron. Tom - 14/11/2011 04:59:41 AM 511 Views
