[QUOTE=gmw;1287410]Various very popular books have received quite interesting criticism here and in other places: "their writing is awful" or "can't write worth a darn" etc etc. Such comments are not offered in the personal opinion manner of: "I didn't like that" or "that didn't do it for me". Rather, they seem to be put forward as inarguable fact.
I would contend that a popular novel, by definition, cannot be considered to be badly written.
