“Very shortsighted….but thinks his opinion transcends. Not shortsighted in that he doesn't put time and effort into his rambling of how bad books are but seems to take any collectively well reviewed book and smashes every detail in it into something that has been done before. For example in his review of Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself, there is a character named Bayaz that can perform acts of magic, so he is of course named/called 'Gandalf' throughout his entire podcast review. The two characters could not be more different. The only comminality that those two have between them is that they both perform magic. This book/series is nothing like Lord of the Rings...
I've listened to 7 of his podcasts thus far and yet to have come across a positive opinion of a book he's read.”
