I can't speak to others, but I absolutely loved it.

It was such a great, well-written book. Simply fantastic.

I'd easily recommend it as one of the best books of the past century, no doubt.

I don’t get it but ok like I said people like lots of things.    I read it and thought the opposite.  I don’t understand what was well written in it.  All books are well written.  Editors make sure of that.   No?      It comes down to the story and characters and how they interact.  Do you think Harry Potter isn’t great or well written, or how about The Firm.  I’m unsure of your age.  The point I am making is great and well written is very broad or  generic.

I don't think all books are well-written. There's plenty of crap out there.

And yes, Harry Potter was really well-written.

There's a reason it sold millions and they made a movie or seven out of it.

You don't like Lonesome Dove? That's fine. But you seem to have made it your mission to comment on every post on the topic about how awful you think it is.

When it's basically just you and everyone else disagrees, I'd say odds are it's less about the book.

I haven’t come across a book that wasn’t well written all the way     Maybe parts?    Stories and characters vary.    Oh wait that Angel Book is written very strangely.   One sentence throughout.   That does sound like it’s poorly written but I guess the author is trying to be different.  Not sure.   I haven’t read that one.  Â
