Twenty Million Readers Can't Be Right: "Commonly Loved Books We Hate" Per Goodreads

Why is Stephenie Meyer smiling? Because her books routinely top both the "most-loved" and "most-hated" lists on Goodreads. The latter distinction may not sound particularly flattering, but if millions of people hate your books, it means millions of people have bought your books. That can soften the blow.
