I mean, yes? I know it's okay to not like a book. That's... literally what I opened my comment with? It's okay if you don't like a book.
It's absolutely okay for people to not like books that we like. You don't have to think the book is good. That doesn't make it "a hoax," and, personally, I don't think it's particularly productive discussion or particularly civil to launch into a hyperbolic screed about "what the fuck is this shit?"
To be honest, the whole complaint mostly reads like sour grapes (I mean, really "how dare you?" to the author because they published something you don't like that got critical acclaim?) or like "I don't get this work, so there's something wrong with everyone who did get it," which kind of says more about you than about fans of the book.
