"Good" seems to be a combination of "quality" and "entertaining". Funny how we talk about these bad books, movies, and other media as if their literal quality were their only value.

The books didn't challenge or inspire, however they did make you feel comforted, safe, and protected. The mystery got solved, all the threads got tied up in the end. Nice. Neat. Comforting.
