Unlikely. How should anyone expect to gain without asking questions? I just finished the book myself and am quite intrigued. If this were a classroom, a professor might ask this question to his/her students to get a conversation going.
Robert, that is such a vacuous comment! It is also disrespectful.
Vacuous, how so? Respect is neither here nor there. The comment is entirely subjective. Most people's skin is thick enough not to be offended by another persons criticism of a book that is different from their own.
Jessie, this is Goodreads not a classroom. Your comment does not hold up. Should I ever become a teacher I would hope my students are able to make their own opinions, and not parrot mine.
