There is no accounting for taste and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I'm wondering if yall have heard any stupid / lazy criticisms for books that are generally considered good. For instance, my dad was telling me he didn't enjoy Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five because it "jumped around too much." Like, uh, yeah, Billy Pilgrim is unstuck in time! That's what makes it fun and interesting! It made me laugh.
I thought it would be fun to hear from this community. What have you heard about some of your favorite books that you think is dumb?
