Defending this novel we have the wonderful Kate!

In our show we take a look at the books that everyone seems to hate. We stand up for mocked and derided literature, a lone defender doing their best to fight the conditioned ideas of the court of public opinion.

Every episode a member of the group has to convince the rest of us that their assigned book has been unfairly judged. As a benchmark we're using goodreads.com, anything on their site with at least 100 reviews and a rating of less than 3 stars is, we think, deserving of a fair appeal hearing.
