Vicki Nemeth ... And the most overrated! Technical complexity and literary scope are not enough to make a good book, people! You need character growth and description without such coddling exposition, and you need emotional power. Too many readers who know this fact ignore it when reading classics as if they are afraid to admit a historic book is poorly written. Yet historic significance is the only reason why anybody still reads Moby Dick.
