Genres aren't something that will really turn me on or turn me off with a book or movie or anything else for that matter. I don't really think I have a preference in genre but most of the favorites come from Thrillers and things of that nature. Movies, books, songs, and even art work that just blows my mind. When I saw Shutter Island for the first time it is just the best when you are taken for turns and twists on an emotional roller coaster for a movie. I want something to make me feel emotion for something that isn't even real, that's how you know it is good. That could be said for anything though I guess because if a love movie and can make me feel something besides boredom and frustration then good on them. Maybe what they should do is make genres of things that determine quality such as: Amazing book, good book, If you have nothing else to book, and lastly, you probably shouldn't read this book. Boom, problem solved. I understand that genres are there to distinguish between what type of book it is but in my circumstances, I could careless what kind of genre it is. My question is, is it a good book? Will it make me cry if the main character dies? Will I smile if he saves the day? Will I be horrified? I would hope the answer is yes.
