by John Heath and Lisa Adams
The rest of this book's title is "A Delightfully Opinionated Journey Through Bestsellers." So true!
Adams and Heath cover self-help, religious, romantic, tragic, and good vs. evil bestsellers. They even explore the popularity of the ghastly (yet bestselling) novel, The Da Vinci Code.
I like how they break down the bestsellers and their themes, and their assessment of bestselling books reinforced one of my beliefs--a book's bestseller status has nothing to do with the quality of writing. I've never read a book just because it was on the bestseller list, and now I know why!
