Considering that I have a long running series on the faults of Twilight and Fred Clark has a similar (and much better) one on the flaws of Left Behind, I wouldn't take it as read that familiarity and repetition of a product necessarily indicates a like of it.
I've tried re-reading P&P several times to see if I'll like it better somehow as I get older, but I feel largely the same as Twain if the "her" in that sentence is fictional Lizzie.
