I love it. Nate Send a noteboard - 19/02/2012 10:00:28 PM
He might not be the most technically proficient author writing today, but he knows how to entertain the hell out of me with his characters, his secrets, and his cinematic action sequences. I'm very glad that a storyteller of his caliber has an ambition of this sheer magnitude, and if he can keep it up I look forward to buying and enjoying everything he does.

Was Sanderson created by the Writng Gods to counter balance GRRM? Anonymous2000 - 19/02/2012 05:13:07 PM 1767 Views
A modern Moorcock, eh ? *NM* Orange - 19/02/2012 05:39:00 PM 797 Views
I just wish he'd be done with the RJ shit and go back to writing his own books. Tom - 19/02/2012 05:40:59 PM 1692 Views
well, the publication date for that book is set somewhere a year from now.. jh - 19/02/2012 07:48:58 PM 1552 Views
Agreed on both points..... Anonymous2000 - 19/02/2012 08:00:41 PM 1669 Views
Well, but he is a "fluff" writer from a literary standpoint Tom - 20/02/2012 02:16:11 AM 1692 Views
Not a fluff writer in my mind..... Anonymous2000 - 20/02/2012 03:12:46 AM 1683 Views
You don't seem to want to hear what I'm saying Tom - 20/02/2012 03:51:13 AM 1633 Views
And I am saying that storytelling is more important..... Anonymous2000 - 20/02/2012 04:52:39 AM 1744 Views

You are correct in one respect: all of this is opinion. Tom - 20/02/2012 07:01:11 PM 1660 Views

Wow, you lack basic reading comprehension skills..... Anonymous2000 - 21/02/2012 08:29:24 PM 1618 Views
No, I read that and didn't disagree that there couldn't be works that had both (read other comments) Larry - 21/02/2012 09:23:31 PM 1740 Views

Uh...Faust is a play. Doctor Faustus is a novel. The former is Goethe, the latter is Mann. *NM* Tom - 22/02/2012 12:00:22 AM 786 Views

I suppose fame is relative, but the most famous Doctor Faustus, to me personally, is indeed a play. Legolas - 22/02/2012 07:29:59 PM 1510 Views
