Sigler is a bit of a shlock writer, his only book that I liked was Earthcore, it was better then infected but not by much.

Seriously. I could never figure out why everyone was jizzing all over about this guy's books. Really the only thing interesting is how he marketed them.

Finally, someone who thinks he is a schlock writer besides me.

He is roundly defended by podcasters for turning minor internet celebrity into a publishing deal.

But then again, I don't think he is that much worse than Dan Brown, so maybe my standards are absurdly high.

Worse than that Heinlein book?

@3: I've read Dan Brown, and I didn't enjoy Dan Brown, but I would gladly read another four Dan Brown books than read one Sigler book.

@4: Lots worse than that Heinlein book. I would read it for fifty bucks on a bet, though. Anyone?

Sigler throws similes around like something that throws things really ridiculously bad. His fanboys are dumb. He is essentially an Alpha Male that found a bunch of geeks who will pander to him.

@8: Oh, SNAP! If your e-mail address was attached to that comment, you'd already be choking on hate mail.

@8: I don't think Neil Gaiman is particularly alpha-male-ish.

It is like Matheson . . . with severe head trauma.
