Well, I suppose that it is a little much to hope that people will not join whacko cults. We live in a time of diminished expectation for logical behavior of people. Similarly I would like to ask people, if you want to join a whacko cult, please choose your whacko cult wisely. America is becoming a laughing stock in the world because we have people who want to follow people with names like Bo and Peep to spaceships in the sky. Cults have been with us for a long time, and I think people in other parts of the world understand that, but join a cult for something like an afterlife or sex or superpowers.
People understand that.
That plays a lot better in the international market. Don't join a cult that is centered around something like UFOs or dental hygiene. This probably says more about me than about his writing, but his Dragaeran novels leave me cold. Well, for starters, it's only about two hundred pages long. For another, he uses words carefully.
