I'm a fan of Gaiman, not so much of Sanderson, whose ending of WoT, IMO, was just a fantasy, not quite up to Jordan's uniqueness.
My guess is they have read "Battlefield Earth" in their teens - and never repeated the experience. The adventure part of it could be appealing to a young reader perhaps, but you have to be very young not to notice the shallowness of characters and stupidity of plots.
