I'm sure there are books that are over-rated but most books I toss aside are ones i find unreadable rather than over rated.<br /> i mean earlier on in the year I tried Moby Dick. I tossed it aside after 100 pages because I found it unreadable. But I wouldn't call it over rated just because I didn't enjoy it.<br /> I do find many criticisms do delve into cheap shots and as you say bad writing. Rather than say why they didn't like something many critics/writers take the easy route and shower their targets in cheap insults and belittlements. That isn't critquing let alone real writing!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-14650725049615768462011-08-14T08:27:42.346-07:002011-08-14T08:27:42.346-07:00Stop challenging me to say something smart, or I&#...Stop challenging me to say something smart, or I'll say nothing at all.
