What kind of people are the ones who have said, “best book I ever read.” When I hear statements like that, I often wonder if it’s the ONLY book ever read. Even if the book is okay, I hardly think it’d fall in the camp of “best” when one considers the entire pantheon of all books ever written.
OK, maybe they refer to it as “one” of the best books that they have ever read. Something like “it is a deep thinkers book with all of the symbolism and such.” My wife didn’t finish it and said it was terrible.
