Except that this sub-reddit is as much about books that are not liked and why as the reverse. If we start with this, where does it stop? If you demand that Hoover not be discussed, then you have to say the same for all the other authors who keep being posted. No one reads a book the same way you do, for the same reasons. They have just as much freedom to post their opinions as you do.

Selective censorship doesn't play here. If you don't like seeing it, try just scrolling past or use Enhancement Suite, see if you can set a filter.

Yeah, I agree with you. If I’m allowed to praise a book here then I also should be able to criticize it.

People always want constructive criticism but it turns out that they actually don’t want it if it’s against their opinion. Same can be said the other way around obviously.
