His ability to write RJ's characters "correctly"..... Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 23/03/2013 03:10:46 AM

Much of the criticism of BS seems to focus on his ability (or lack thereof) of writing RJ's characters exactly the same as RJ.....mannerisms, dialogue, actions, etc.

So, my question is this. Is it really fair to hold it against him that some characters are not perfect? I assume this is extremely hard to do, inheriting a ton of characters from another author, especially from someone with a very distinctive style and history of exactness.

Mat IS a D&D character who broke through the 4th wall and kept hearing his player roll dice. *NM* Bookwyrm - 24/03/2013 07:09:22 AM 640 Views

Not perfect, but I did expect them to be good. And they weren't good. They were very bad. Awful. *NM* Marshall - 23/03/2013 08:30:23 PM 679 Views
