To each his own. But the problem with large fansay books like these is that if you only stop at 100 pages, you miss a lot. Some have a large setup before it gets into the action. So give them another go and see how you really like it once you get into the action past the beginning setup.

That's my point. I usually force myself to give book a chance and read but I failed with Thomas Covenant books, saying that after I managed to finish Redemption of Althalus speaks volumes
(I mean it is not for me, it might be good for others)
Terry Goodkind...I have not read him yet. I will try him sometime when he finishes his series, however....I frequent two big fantasy forums
ASOIAF
MalazanWorld
The amount of sh"£ poured on TG on these forums is unimaginable
He is considered the worst writer ever in fantasy. People who love all different types of fantasy and different writers (some might love Martin and hate Erikson and vice versa), all agree in a general concensus that TG is an utter rubbish and should even exist
I don't know any fantasy writer who sparks so much hatred from fantasy lovers
