and I'm going to order the sequels from the library.

A word of warning: Don't go into Axis expecting something equally as good as Spin. I found Axis vastly disappointing by comparison and kind of wished I'd just stuck with the first one.

I'm not sure. I read a couple of chapters of an Anne Rice vampire book a friend pressed on me before I gave it back and said I hated it, but I wouldn't say everyone liked those.

I think they range from "guilty pleasure" to "complete crap," myself. :)

I gave a pop-up Star Trek book to a friend after her step-father died, just to give her a smile.

Awww. *feels all warm and happy*

even if the reasons they like something are the ones I'd hate it.

I've also read a few book reviews where the reasons the person hated it are the reasons I'd like it. :)
