I can hear a resounding "yes" from the peanut gallery after my comment "Are There Really Any Bad Books?" Think about it though, just for a moment - it really just comes down to personal opinion and an elected few who have taken on the status of "Book Reviewer". Just because my friend Elaine doesn't like the same book as me, doesn't make the book in question bad, horrible, wrong or a waste of time, it just means that we have a difference of opinion. How do we give so much power to so few in that professional status of "Reviewer" when really all they are giving, much like anyone else, is their opinion!
That's why all you Authors out there or "wannabe" Authors just need to remember, as long as you LOVE your subject, know why you are writing this book ie: to make money, for family and friends etc. then really there is no "bad books" just books that needed to be published for one reason or another. There will always be someone who thinks it's the best book ever written....even if it is your Mum!
