Why wouldn't you want to praise a book that gave you a personally relevant deep connection?

Nothing wrong with praising the book, but for you to praise a book for some particular insight that you achieved is not necessarily a virtue of the book. The book may be excellent, but if the author never intended for you to achieve that particular insight that's more from you the reader than the author, regardless of how great the book is.
