Perhaps the author is snappy-of-phrase, but doesn't develop characters well, but has an interesting plot, but makes grammatical errors... and you have differing expectations of that kind of book that allows you each to make allowances for one area but not another, say... I dunno
Anyhow, from back in my early days on here when Hoody said "Rev is shit" I've found it hard to let such comments pass without enquiring why people say such things. Needn't be a big fight though. |
Nah, you're right, a simple enquiry would've prompted a polite answer.
To give you an idea of my view, my partner is much,
much smarter than me and watches Hollyoaks. I do pass judgement on the art, but not the audience. Which makes all the petty personal shit in this thread all the more shameful.
As for the Time Travellers wife, junk food in book form pretty much captures the experience perfectly for me. Last years 'Memoirs Of A Geisha'
Though thats neither here nor there, its just my opinion of the book.
