That is an interesting, yet simple way of looking at things; and I somewhat agree. Over-detailed writing is really good, but sometimes it gets boring and to a point where you find repetative points in the text. Then you start to wonder if the writer was just winging it, and aiming for a personal quota for page numbers.
Of course it depends on what the book's subject is too, even though a book can be crappily written, sometimes its subject is easier for the reader to understand or relate to than a well written book. But generally, it doesn't really matter what a well written book's subject is about, the subjects are often easy to relate to and even find appealing. It's rare to like a crappy written book over a well written one. The same goes for movies and stuff like that.

If a book has christian underlining it's instantly made of pure win.

This post makes me cringe though. I find it hard to like books that have a Christian underlining, and this even includes the Bible. The intention of the Bible is not to be an actual depiction of historical events, but rather be a guide to moral values. Many of the stories in the Bible were inspired from legends believed by the people of Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia. Greece's legend about Pandora's Box and the Mesopotamian account of the creation of man are practically prototypes for Genesis, and those civilzations and legends existed hundreds, even thousands of years before Christianity and the Bible did.
