That's just it. It's my opinion. That's all. I'm allowed and entitled to not like things for my own personal reasons (which are usually very clever and intellectual and well thought-out because, after-all, I'm an expert, along with eHal.)

ReplyDeleteI don't mind when someone tells us they didn't like one of our books. We appreciate the candor. However, just as there's a right and wrong way to handle criticism, there's also a right and wrong way to hand out criticism.
For example, the other day we were talking to a guy who didn't care for one of our books, which is fine. We don't expect everyone to like our novels. But all he could offer was completely subjective interpretations of why he didn't like it, like what he thought the character should have been like, and how he would have ended the story (his ending idea was gruesomely terrible).
So if you tell us something like the writing gets weak in the middle or the beginning is a bit repetitive, we'll take that to heart. But if someone tells us they didn't like the story because the main character should have been Mexican and it should have ended with an elaborate dream sequence, then all we're going to take to heart is, "Don't ask them their opinion ever again, as they can only count to potato."
Well said, sir!
