A lot of reading is exactly the immediate impression. An opinion can also change relatively easily depending on the thoughts of those around us. It's precisely these books readers "know" are horrible but enjoy that provide us with some insight as to what makes books enjoyable...

It was tough reading, but I loved Hulme's writing style as well. I really wish she had another novel. But yes, I agree that it is obscure.
