[quote=Anonymous]Read it, skimming if you want. Find things to praise about it—an interesting character, good use of figurative language, a well described setting, a segment of interesting dialog, a plot twist. Even if the book won’t ever get published, your spouse put a lot of work into it and wants recognition for something that’s important to him. Validate his effort and passion. But have a cover for your lack of interest. You could say you just don’t read a lot of that genre, that lately you’ve preferred non-fiction to fiction, that you have a hard time relating to the protagonist, anything that communicates “It’s not you; it’s me.” Then explain that because the book isn’t your “thing,” through no fault of your husband’s, he should solicit feedback from someone who is more into his style of writing, however you want to characterize that style.[/quote]
