I genuinely don't understand it when people talk about their experience of a work as if their opinions are somehow objective facts. "It was bad" vs. "I didn't like it", for example. That just doesn't make sense to me.
I'm sorry you didn't like it, but that has no bearing whatsoever on the material, itself, or anyone else's experiences of it.
- ibash 11y agoI think that is just a quirk of the English language... For what it's worth, I also didn't like it - I thought the characters were dry and cliche. Multiple times I caught myself thinking "that makes no sense"...
- CamperBob2 11y agoHe cites a few specific issues, like random animal attacks that appear just in time to steer the plot, that are arguably grounds for calling it "bad." Well-written review IMHO.
