Too many people are so caught by how much of a dick he is, and as a result don't give his books an honest read.


Boring world. Boring characters. Boring storyline.

Sorry, but when a book is that boring I'm not going on to the second in the series. For me, not reading him again had nothing to do with his politics.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
