While this list looks long, it's only a small percentage of the books on the Christian market. Notice the authors that made it on the Elite List and those that did not. Also notice the numbers of books from certain authors.

However, you might just say that this is one reviewer's opinion. But look at the consistency of the list and ask yourself "do I really want to read the same plot over and over again or do I want something original?"
