(Anonymous) 2012-05-15 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)this, but would also like to add: the concept of a "compelling story with interesting characters" is, in itself, also very subjective. I might be interested in different characters than you or find a different sort of plot interesting, or prefer the way author A constructs zir plot over author B.
I'm not saying I disagree with you, I probably don't, but wanted to clarify that point.
To break it down a little bit more: you can judge a book by objective things like: number of pages/words/chapters, number of characters, how dynamic a character is (if you have a measuring tool for how much that character changed), etc. or even "number of people who like this book". None of those things is, in and of themselves, an indicator of quality. They're just stats. "Quality" is born of the opinions of those who read the book.
