They're all so great though, I have a hard time deciding on a favorite. <br /><br />Keru- I've had the same problem with books in my family too. Often, my dad and I will find one we both love, and my mom wont like it. Or, my mom will love a book, but neither of us will like it. Of course, writing is important, but the final vote often does come down to how much the reader can relate (or, as you said, easily empathize) and that's going to vary between individuals, even family members.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499586055765397173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210632171211801661.post-49516295310439195032012-01-25T21:22:16.211-08:002012-01-25T21:22:16.211-08:00I agree with Christine.

Some stories have touched me so profoundly that I had go out and buy a pack of cigarettes (and it takes something really profound to get me to smoke, let me telly you) and yet friends and family were ambivalent at best about the same book. I think what it comes down to is writing well so that even if someone can't relate to the story, they can empathize.<br /><br />And congratulations on 50+ followers! (^__^) *high fives*Keru (a.k.a.

He is my favorite on that show. I do think a story can be true for some and not for others. It's all subjective.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.com
