Re: Overrated books and/or authors?

[(Anonymous)]

Earthsea and Le Guin are just so overrated to me. I'm probably just not the target audience. I find them so slow, and not even in an interesting way. I'm okay with slow if we're exploring the fictional world and the characters, but I feel like there were a bunch of times where it was just preachy and telling rather than showing.

Honestly I really don't like preachy things, even if I like the message. I have equal dislike for Narnia and Dark Materials.

Stranger in a Strange Land is not remotely close to Heinlein's best, so it makes me sad that it is probably his best known. He's got some really good books, but that isn't one of them.

Agreed on Le Guin. I do love her worldbuilding. The first of her books that I read was Changing Planes, and it became one of my favorite short story collections of all time. But now I know that's because it's a collection of nothing but worldbuilding. I thought I'd love her novels, but any time she tries to take one of her worlds and weave a full story into it, I get bored. I gave up on her after Left Hand of Darkness, the one everyone says is her absolute best, became a chore for me to finish.
