Not every book (or story) will suit every reader, nor should it try to. I'd personally much rather read a work that the author was passionate about writing, written in a way they feel best serves the story, rather than something tailored to fit a perceived taste. It's not quite the same, but I often feel that many movies miss their ideal audience because they are marketed based on some nebulous idea of 'this is what audiences like', rather than 'this is the story' and we'll let audiences decide for themselves.
All tangents aside, I am very much looking forward to 'Drowning Girl'.
