Actually, it's a distinction that makes sense to me. :)

And, as a further note, from the responses I've read to the book, I think the thing is that either it grabs you emotionally or it doesn't. If it does, it works for you despite any objective flaws it may have, and if it doesn't, it's kind of annoying.

Anyway, I do think it's worth giving it another shot, to see whether it manages to grab you or not. I hope it does!
