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?

I just wish he'd be done with the RJ shit and go back to writing his own books.

Uh...Faust is a play. Doctor Faustus is a novel. The former is Goethe, the latter is Mann. *NM*

I suppose fame is relative, but the most famous Doctor Faustus, to me personally, is indeed a play.

Sanderson is a machine. Also, the books (so far) have been wildly different
