It's like I said in a few days ago in a post on genre novels, when a "literary" author writes a genre novel, the critics fall all over themselves to praise it--probably because critics haven't read much genre fiction.
As for The Postman, I hope the novel is better than the movie!

THE ROAD was just too much of a downer for me but I read and enjoyed (so to speak) most of the others.

I've read four of them. As Jeff points out, I heard so much bad stuff about THE ROAD, I will probably never get to it.

Amen, Deb. The movie ...well, what can I say? Yikes?
