The thing is, as far as I can tell, for almost any author there's going to be someone who feels that way about them, and someone who thinks they're the best to ever put pen to paper.
I can't stand this book. But other people liked it enough that the author got a trilogy deal and the books sell pretty well. I would walk through fire for Charles DeLint's fiction; other friends of mine think his writing is pathologically dull.
This is why it is awesome that there are many different writers out there - we all get to have something we like.
