(can't open your link?) Yes,that's true of course,but he's also talking about the grindingly tedious style of prose and the lame one-dimensional characters etc...that's especially true I think with Tolkien.

"Moorcock claims that anyone not already inclined to agree with his opinions will probably not find anything to convince them otherwise in the book".
