The personal opinions of a reader of whether a book is good or not is completely up to the reader. For example, many literary “experts” will probably say that The Great Gatsby is a “good” novel, the word “perfect” has even been thrown around. In my opinion, no book is perfect, but no book is bad either. It all depends on the personal opinions of the reader.

Many may think that Twilight is a good book, but in my personal opinion, there should be a Twilight book burning party of which I will be the leader. Mind you, this may upset certain Twi-hards but I am confident that I could take them on. Now that I think of it, no book deserves to be burned, except for Twilight; there is an exception for every rule.  

I think that most often, the simplest books are often the best, children’s books especially. They have the best messages; also, there is no SAT vocabulary to mess with me. But all joking aside, I like the messages of children’s books. Like in The Three Little Pigs, we learn that good planning can lead to success. Or in Little Red Riding Hood, we learn to never walk through the dark woods alone or talk to strangers; otherwise, a wolf will eat your grandmother. It is much more important and more relevant than learning about the “evils of imperialism.” Although imperialism is important to learn about, the themes found in children’s books are possibly the most important of all lessons. They are simple, but if you grow up knowing the simple thins in life, the more complex things are easier to understand.
