A well written book gives the reader clues but never describes all details. That leaves room for the reader to form a mental picture of the scenario they are reading about, to form a connection to the story, and create a relationship with their impression of the characters. It is why we have emotional reactions to stories, because a good writer lets us live in the story for a while.
And it is why we get cross when the ending isn't right.
Bear in mind, we live most of our lives in our heads. We interpret our reality through our minds, we predict, we remember, we change things around, we imagine. And words are just part of our environment, they are symbols that we interpret and filter in different ways through our emotions and experiences.
So, the book I love isn't going to appeal to everyone, and the one I hate is probably a best seller.
Every single story is coloured by the imagination of the reader, and is changed in the process.
