What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?
I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?
Andy Weir. Somehow The Martian didn’t click with me, but everyone kept raving about Project Hail Mary, so I caved. I’m really glad I did, I loved everything about it. What bugs me is that I can’t even objectively say what’s so different about PHM to change my opinion about his writing.
This is the first time I’m hearing someone else not liking The Martian. Hmmm, maybe I should actually try Hail Mary.
There are dozens of us!
I really liked his Artemis book set on the moon. I wish he’d continued it.
