You could always do the one where you ask if they work as SF or not.

After I so carefully left that question out? :p

Martin likes slapfights more than you do, though.

Answers based entirely on stuff said by Martin and Liz by the way, since I haven't read any of the three.

Surely this is entirely consistent with the spirit of GOOD or BAD?

But he also answered the non GOOD-or-BAD questions.

It helps if you think of Oh Pure and Radiant Heart as a satirical comedy of manners rather than an SF book, I only clocked that about a third of the way in and it got immeasurably better.

They are SF novels therefore that question is implicit in GOOD or BAD

I think it would probably help if you just burnt OP&RH before reading it.

So in a mixed poll, I should only answer the GOOD-BAD questions? Feh.

That's the spirit!

Wait a minute, how come you have said NLMG is your favourite then?

In fact you've ignored everything I've said. As usual.

My opinion doesn't count?

see why you are suspect!

Maybe just Liz then.

From: [identity profile] secritcrush.livejournal.com
But how will a slapfight about this start with that attitude?

I see you have sneakily changed your best book answer to agree with me.

We could have a slapfight about whether we should have a slapfight?

I'm guessing I should stop feeling sad that I've only read two of the three, then?

I don't have time to break the numbers down fully, but it looks like, compared to the other two, more of those who read and liked Oh Pure and Radiant Heart liked it the best of the three, and more of those who read and disliked it disliked it the most -- ie it's a book people love or hate. Which, to be fair, I knew based on conversations with people. :)

I have only read one of the three. This makes that one clearly the best.

Are there people who question the need for slapfights?

WHAT?! C'mon, the whole idea is that you answer the questions, regardless.

I do know that TTTL is awesome. Haven't read the others, but have read other people's opinions.

Should I be worried that we are thinking exactly alike?

We CLEARLY don't need a slapfight about this, and i DENY anyone to say otherwise.

No. It just means my mind-control device is working at last.

Can I just add that I think all three are excellent books, beautifully written and very moving. Picking a 'worst' is meaningless really.

Hush there at the back.
