Who wants to read a book that doesn't have some kind of point of view, even if it's portrayed through the lens of a character? And just because I disagree with it, that doesn't necessarily mean I won't enjoy the book.

Yeah, the one-star reviews sting, but you have to just move on. You won't please everyone.
I am compelled to agree. I am as interested in books that offend the religious right as I am in those that offend the religious left. I am only amused by books that offend the agnostic fence-sitters.
