| Re: The Long Run; February's Book
It could be a gender thing -- I, obviously, am female -- on the other hand, it could just be a matter of personal taste, since we're all more inclined to forgive a book's failings if it has plenty of whatever it is that we like the most. In your husband's case, the book may deliver so much of what he looks for in a story, the rest may not matter so much.
But it might spur the conversation if you could ask him what it is about the book that he admires so much. (It might also give those of us still slogging through something to look for and think about.) |
