This guy is arguing that many books are just way too long. To support his critique he mentions:
- Robert Jordan’s
Wheel of Time
- Tad Williams’
Otherland
- Tad Williams'
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn
- Rowland's
Harry Potter
- Neal Stephenson's
The Baroque Cycle
These are all books I personally love! (Well except for Wheel of Time that I eventually stopped reading.) Is this guy insane? What about character development? What about the pure joy of knowing that there is just another novel building on top of a wonderful story? What is wrong about a long book if it is well written and not boring? Perhaps this guy should go back to Kindergarten and read Mickey Mouse books for a change.
