The opposite is also annoying, i mean those who just because they liked a book assume that book is
awesome, no matter how bad in reality that book is and how limited is their capacity to objectively judge the literary value of some work. Those types of people make everything relative, and some things are good or bad in absolute terms.
We need critics and we need elitist readers.
