You can only know that if you are intelligent enough.

Then you read, and i you found what you read stupid as fuck, then that book is bad. That's why books like Hunter Games and 50 shades of Grey are so popular, because the majority of people are retarded.

I think the value of good or bad from one's book came from understanding that it able to give you insight from the topic that you've sought for.

Does the book able to provide the information you seek and does it satisfy your will to knowledge? That's what matters.
