I can't remember, but I do think for her it's more about being rubbed the wrong way by him, than it is anything else. Sigh. Did you check the Jane Eyre post? Wondering now what you thought of that one!Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-62780978629967688372015-09-21T17:19:49.388-06:002015-09-21T17:19:49.388-06:00Belle: Yay!

I don't see one factual criticism of the book in there, only lots of really rude stereotyping of readers of both Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan's work. Especially as someone with stereotypically nerdy interests herself, I don't see any reason for her to assume that all readers who are passionate about different fandoms would wear flooder pants, play D&D, and have greasy hair and pointy elbows. Or that there would be anything wrong with it if they did! And the fact that she doesn't like Sanderson's work in no way makes it reasonable to assume things about him as a person. It's one thing to judge books and another, completely unacceptable thing to get snarky about the authors as people. Although I like the idea of getting your differing perspectives on things, I hope future posts from Jenny are more literary critique and less personal attack.DoingDeweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902496432225294188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-14780671716966830672015-09-17T22:50:03.927-06:002015-09-17T22:50:03.927-06:00Hah!

I just read my first Sanderson this year and I am absolutely in love - his imagination and world-building are just so amazing.
