Which is worse?
Finding a book you love and then hating everything else you try by that author, or
Reading a completely disappointing book by an author that you love?

I would be so much more disappointed with a book by an author that I love than with a second book by an author that I have just discovered. If one of my absolute favorite authors such as Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler or Nora Roberts put out a book that I hated I would be crushed.
I don't mean that each other only writes books that are similar to previous books but each auther has a certain sense of style that works for him/her. For example, the humor and the insights often found in a novel by Dean Koontz are staples and any book by him that lacked those things would be a greater disappointment than a second novel by an author who's style is not familiar to me.
This is one of the reasons that I was so upset when I did not enjoy Catherine Coulter's FBI series. I love her work but the first of her FBI books that I read left me feeling cold because the characters and the story line were not up to par with those of her romance novels. It's left me questioning whether I would like the thriller series by Nora Roberts.
