Some books are like the Emperor's new clothes, don't you think? All the "in" people rave about them, as if liking the books is the key to a secret club. Sometimes I wonder how the editor figured out what was going on, as my only clue is the cover copy.
The only thing worse than feeling stupid is the pressure to pretend you understand and like something you don't.
Good writers make readers feel smart, and included.
