Actually I don't mind Terry Brooks. YES he's pretty generic and there's nothing that original in his writing but for some reason I enjoy reading his stuff, maybe as a break from the heavier work I normally focus on.
I also read Sword Of Shannara in the early 80s when I hadn't yet started on my major fantasy reading spree and have followed Brooks since then so maybe it's a loyalty thing, not sure?
