Suspension of disbelief?

I just read "the Power of One" by Bryce Courtenay and I loved it but it does require a huge leap of faith.

I feel that he accomplished the writing magic to take us all there but perhaps I was just in the mood for his story.

How do you all feel about books that are somewhat preposterous but yet entirely lovable?

Man, I ask bad questions don't I?

I LOVE IT EVEN MORE!!! I love it when books get...absurd. Well most times. The Best/Worst School Year Ever by Barbra Robinson had a pretty absurd moment... Like what the Herdmans did to that dog or cat i think it was.. .... They didn't get punished for it at all!


They had this idea of putting a cat/dog(forget) into a washing machine. But then a series of events happens where the cat ends up clean, which is what the Herdmans wanted after all and everybody ends up confused and the Herdmans get away with it... i loved that...

My brain is abit foggy on this book. I remember loving that moment though... i really should re-read it.

And no, this question isn't bad. I'm staring it.

(Grins) I read and write fanfic about five superhero teens who save the planet dresed in birdsuits. I'm _really good_ at suspension of disbelief :)

Really, all fantasy and most science fiction requires this. I know many people won't read anything not set in a completely realistic modern or historical world, but personally I prefer to escape from the real world a bit more than that.
