The full story is that he hadn't read the books at the point he was offered it (when filming has already started as a replacement), and that he didn't want to spend so long so far away from his then quite young son. Only when that son explained what he was turning down did he agree. I wouldn't say he sucked for putting his son before work.
Unless you just dislike everyone who hasn't read the book? A little excessive surely? Not everyone gets it... their loss, have compassion.
