Which is worse?
Finding a book you love and then hating everything else you try by that author, or
Reading a completely disappointing book by an author that you love?

For me I think it is worse to read a disappointing book by an author that I love. Because you get so used to reading that author and loving all of their work. If you come up to a stinker your left going, Huh?! Or you’re left also wondering if the books you read before were actually that good or if you were just being biased. At least for me anyways, that’s how I feel.
I tend to be more forgiving of a fave author than one I’ve just discovered. I figure my fave can’t be great every time!
I tend to forgive a favorite author as well. Charlaine Harris’ last novel was (in my opinion) not her best because it was more of a transition novel into a new broader storyline in the series. I was disappointed,but still can’t wait for the new book to come out.
I’m more forgiving of a favorite author too!
My problem seems to be that if I love a book enough I tend to avoid their other work for fear that a bad book will taint the one I love. My prime example would be E.L. Doctorow, I love Ragtime so much I won’t read anything else by him.
