43. Um.... I'll bite... who died and made you Arbiter of Good Taste and Lit?
Have you read A Time to Kill?
(no, not the movie....)

Quality? Who's sliding scale are you using?
I'm vexed about tossing around such arbitrary remarks without using criteria.

Quality? Quality fiction?

It's helpful to know that Aristotle believes that art should be an "imitation" of life. It should hold a mirror up to life. It should be "truthful," or "true to life."

"A Time to Kill" is a moral story with depth. Don't dismiss so easily.
