Insult
I probably got the worst insult about LAZARUS today:
"Predictable."
And the thing is, I didn't even ask this person for their opinion.....I don't say that to be mean, it was just sorta random how it came out.
I just said "okay" and left it at that.
UPDATE:
He didn't mean it like that. I told him I felt kind of insulted, and he explained what he really meant. "Predictable" was just a poor word choice -- the actual sentiment was that since the situations were so similar to his own real life experiences, he could predict what might happen next. A better choice of words may have been "I could relate" or "empathize" or something. Change the perspective from the work to the reader.
No harm, no foul.

I am trying to be nice but did you say bump and feed them grits. I have learn that folks say anything just to have something to say.
