Well, not just because of him, but a large group of authors who write a story with the following plot:
Young protagonist is sheltered and ignorant about the world. Something exciting happens to force him/her into the world. He/She gains a wise mentor along the way, as well as a group of eclectic companions. He/She finds out he/she is the Chosen One and must defeat the Great Evil. He/She finds true love whose fate is tied to victory over the Great Evil. Big battle is fought and protagonist is victorious, marries love interest. The end.
I'm just sick of reading the same story over and over. I'm sick of good vs. evil and I'm sick of invincible heroes who can do no wrong.
Granted, I liked his books when I read them,, when I was 11 or 12, but that was ten years ago and my tastes have changed. At least Eddings was up-front about how shamelessly cliche his story is. Other authors don't seem to realize that fact.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
