What do you think of a book by two people , like two people working together, a collaboration, is it bad or good?
I assume you're talking about fiction. In general, I tend to think less of book written by two people (James Patterson comes to mind); however, I wouldn't refuse to read it just for that reason alone.
No, I wasn't.You're probably thinking of ghosts. I don't mind collaborations but ghosted books are generally rank.
I don't care how many people wrote the book, so long as it's a good read. So I don't think it really matters. Two people can write as well or as badly as a single writer.
True. And I said I wouldn't refuse to read a book just because it was a collaboration. However, my first thought when I see one of these done in fiction is to question why the writer(s) couldn't write a book by himself, and that it's a little like writing a book by committee. So, for me, a book written as a collaboration already has a strike against it before I even open it. This is just my feeling, I'm not trying to change anyone else's point of view.Righto. But ghosting and collaborations are two completely different animals and one can't always 'see the joins' in the latter.
When you're just browsing and not seeking a specific book -- and answer honestly now -- what do you really look at? The cover? The inside text? The title? The author's name? What makes you pick up the book?
