Point -- I remember there was some debate on Neil Gaiman's blog a while back about another author, and a reader wrote in saying they were trying to reconcile the book they really liked with the author who had opinions they completely disagreed with. Neil summed it up nicely: "The art is not the artist." And now I realize that reading Neil Gaiman's blog goes against that kinda, but the man is awesome and writes poetry about cleaning up his cat's vomit at 4AM.
Well, my dislike of romance novels comes from a few really crappy ones I've read over the years. The best way to get over an attempted rape is to get a new boyfriend who pressures you into sex under the pretense that you 'need' it to help you move past the trauma, according to one.
Ahh. And there's another case where a lack of percieved popularity from the author might have saved it.
