Re: No, the "misused simile" thing is just a pet peeve Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 24/01/2011 09:34:03 AM
From BS, I was surprised by how many passages were so direct they seemed taken from a synopsis.


Given that he had to take a huge amount of text out of it, I'd say many of them essentially are.

No, it doesn't. It "discredits greatly" one of his points, not the main argument. *NM* *NM* Cynewulf - 24/01/2011 06:57:38 PM 522 Views

Is that really the case? A lot was cut from ToM? *NM* newyorkersedai - 24/01/2011 11:16:05 PM 454 Views
Sweated is a word. *NM* fionwe1987 - 24/01/2011 02:45:57 AM 500 Views
Is it? Would you ever write "I had sweated" or "having sweated for an hour?" *NM* newyorkersedai - 24/01/2011 11:17:04 PM 530 Views
No, because it is not a participle. ranagrande - 24/01/2011 11:36:12 PM 1113 Views
Sure it is moratcorlm - 25/01/2011 11:31:29 AM 1145 Views
No. I have written: I sweated a lot when I was in India. *NM* fionwe1987 - 25/01/2011 12:16:39 AM 507 Views
Um, yes,. sweated is the past tense of to sweat. *NM* everynametaken - 07/02/2011 03:37:58 AM 598 Views

I really don't want to come off as a jerk, but really? WoT has never had good writing. Ghavrel - 26/01/2011 07:18:03 AM 955 Views
If you hate his writing so much then don't read the final book. *NM* everynametaken - 07/02/2011 03:39:43 AM 684 Views
