Sorry, I just got off work and have no desire to read anything longer than a few sentences, so I am only going by your summary. This fits me, actually. I love spoilers and don't think they detract from my overall enjoyment of a novel. For me, knowing something happens only builds anticipation. Sure, I may know that someone dies, but chances are I don't know how or when it happens.

On the other hand, there is no way to know whether or not I am enjoying a novel as much as I would have had I not been spoiled (but that doesn't really bother me).

I agree it is case by case - 12/08/2011 09:08:25 PM 953 Views
I dunno. My personal experience leans the other way. - 12/08/2011 01:57:37 AM 910 Views

Spoilers don't spoil anything if the story is well-written. - 12/08/2011 04:25:44 AM 886 Views
And I agree with this too. - 12/08/2011 12:46:03 PM 966 Views
