True. Everyone has got their own opinion of what is a good or bad book/movie/piece of music etc. Of course sometimes I imagine it is possible to overlook the particular type of tension that is in a given work. A Christmas Carol is an example where I imagine it might be easy to do. Scrooge isn't often in any prolonged direct conflict with other characters. Instead usually the conflict seems to be internal as he faces up to the decisions (good and bad) that he has made over the course of his life.
