Sword of Shannara

The worst book i ever read used to be anything by Dan Brown, on account of i hate his deceitful grifter hack ways, but then i stumbled on this gem here.
I was looking for some classic generic fantasy imitating Tolkien, like the kind everyone is always complaining about, and the Shannara series kept coming up, so i decided to give it a go. Should be a safe enough bet, reading an acclaimed classic, and god knows my expectations were low. I was not expecting a fucking masterpiece, i was expecting that there would be a spot of cheeky plagiarism, but what i was not prepared for is that the guy can not fucking write.
I do not mean this in a snobby "his prose stylings are questionable" way.
I mean this asshole cant fucking write well enough to even HAVE a fucking style. This is the kind of semi-literate horseshit i've seen on peoples' creative writing practice blogs, but never in a published work. The Terry Brooks definition of "description" is adjectives. Doesnt matter how unfitting, jarring, or repetetive. If adjectives have been spewed, then description has taken place. At one point the main character describes the solid walls of a town, and then says he prefers the pregnability of his home forests. Now, i've enjoyed many walks and hikes in forests and not once has my heart sang out in appreciation of their sheer fucking pregnability.
I think at one point someone was also sitting "aboard" a horse, but that might have been te sequel. In this one Brooks had forgotten horses exist.
Now, sometimes a lack of writing talent can be compensated for by having interesting ideas, but what we have here is a complete and utter lack of any fantasy. I went in expecting "generic" and what i got was imaginational void. The world consists of Eastland, Southland, Westland, and Northland, and each of these points on the compass is inhabited by the corresponding race, humans in the south, elves in the west, trolls in the north, dwarves and gnomes in the east. Each of those races is actually human, except elves. The bad guy is The Warlock Lord who lives in Skull Mountain in the fucking Skull Kingdom. This sounds more fun than it actally is.
I can understand this trash getting published, everyone was wanting more Lord of the Rings, but what really baffles me is how it ever became popular. There is absolutely nothing going for it. No merit. And yet you can go on Goodreads and read reviews praising this monument to incompetence, some even describing the prose as "rich"
Fucking mental

Thanks for reading my blog
