good stories

I think "good stories" are completely 100% based on a person's opinions. To one guy, a book can be a complete piece of garbage, but it could be someone else's favorite book. A sorie's greatness is determined by the person. Myself, I know that I first of all have to like the genre of the book or movie to think the story is good. I know this is quite biased, but it is true that you pay attention more to something you enjoy as opposed to something that bores you. All in all, I think that all these things that everyone is mentioning in this blog like characters, suspense, and plot mean absolutely nothing when determing if the story is good or not; like I said, it's entirely based on opinion.
