I had this happen with Ryan Adams. I like Rock N Roll. I didn't realize everybody hated it until after I'd left "Burning Photographs" on repeat for a few months.

I know! This season has gotten weirdly good. Particularly considering the whole Annie/Auggie thing, which just sounds like a terrible idea.

Is that YA? Tanith Lee's Wolf Tower series (or whatever the hell it was called—I have only the vaguest recollections of those books) was marketed as YA, but I always got the impression that her other stuff wasn't exactly appropriate for younger readers.
