I'm becoming more and more curious/suspicious of people's voting motivations. This one's managing to pull 40% of the vote, so I downloaded it to take a look. The first five chapters are
predictable and somewhat cliche, but there's really not much to talk about. What did people see in this that made them want to hear my thoughts on it so badly?

Some people have bad taste in terrible books.

It's not so much the book is terrible as just pretty bland. I'm not sure what there is to talk about.

In my mind the terrible there is working kind of like a minus sign. Just as someone with bad taste in books might recommend a bad or mediocre book as good, someone with bad taste in terrible books might recommend a good or mediocre book as bad.
