Yes, definitely. Because enhancing the totality is one of the most important functions that a good editor contributes to.
And I do not read books in a way that I enjoy part of it and that is enough. I enjoy the whole book or I do not enjoy the whole book. I enjoyed a lot of episodes of Battlestar Galactica but the ending made these episodes bad retroactively and I really think the hours spent watching them was totally wasted and I felt cheated since I could have wathed a series that was good instead.
And we also have the case that the totality is OK but it could have been brilliant. Which is also bad since I do not want to read books that are just OK but also that I missed a potentially brilliant book.
