Alright. /lit/, I really love this book. what do you think of it?

>> No.1138388

I don't know. I've never heard of it. Though the plot sounds like its been done before. Many times.

That depends. Context? What are your other favorite books? Hitchhiker's Guide? Fight Club? The Stand? What if you're a retard? Full disclosure please.

" This review is from: Adieu Gary Cooper (Paperback)
An interesting tale about an American guy who is too tired of American type of life style and chose to live in the wilderness of Alpine Mountains and mainly deal with nature. This story shows how different some people's life styles and beliefs could be and the fact that they still seem to be the happiest people in the world. This is also the sad story of a little boy who once wanted to be a cowboy like Gary Cooper and never had the chance to make it in a world that is too cruel and sophisticated to underestand the kids' type of love and passion.

No, this exact same plot structure has been used many, many times before.

And does it mean that this book is inferior?
I don't think so, Tim.

>> No.1138445

>>1138439
Actually that's pretty good evidence that the book is inferior, it could be argued otherwise but generally if a book isn't original it ain't worth shit.

>> No.1138446

>>1138439
Technically it does. Unless it happens to be far more beautifully-written than the thousands of young adult novels that use the same idea and structure.

Would you name only a few books written on this exact same plot?

>> No.1138458

>>1138455
That's not the argument, a friendly anonymous poster stated that it's a fairly common plot (it is) and the original poster agreed, but stated that it doesn't matter because it's well written.

You're not allowed to change your argument if you don't like it, that's not how arguments work.
