Obviously it wasn't rejected and is hugely successful, but it's hardly a given that it was going to be even published, ever.

Right on, Nashira. And it's even worse if you're pushing a book at agents. Some of them actually ask you to report how many other agents have already seen the book. If ten have rejected it, chances are the eleventh is going to be negatively affected before he starts reading.
