[quote=Anonymous]The other thread (which I am enjoying) is about popular books, but I wanted to start one focused on books that got generally positive reviews from the literary critics that you didn’t like. What books did you read and feel like literary critics are on an entirely different planet than you are? I’ll start. I just finished [i]Bewilderment[/i] by Richard Powers. I’m mystified by the positive reviews it got. It was heavy-handed, maudlin in the worst way, logically inconsistent, tedious and entirely derivative. I honestly do not understand why it got positive reviews from critics. How did the critics read that and not find it ham-handed and predictable? I’m confused. [/quote]
