In so many ways, being a literary agent is an irresistible job to me. Not only does it involve all the things I love - being an advocate for others, problem solving, and going to meetings - yes, that's true, I love meetings, though everyone says it's bizarre! - but most importantly, I love working with people whose writing excites me.

It used to take me forever to read and comprehend stuff, so I decided not to make the 'Captain Underpants' books too challenging. Don't get me wrong - the humor and ideas are often sophisticated - but the books aren't hard to read. I wanted kids who hate reading to find these books irresistible.

'Irresistible' often implies a strong, positive response towards something very appealing.

Positive Emotion

'Irresistible' is typically used when something appeals greatly to the senses, such as taste or smell.

Sensory Appeal

The term can be used in a hyperbolic manner to emphasize an exaggeration for effect.

Hyperbolic Speech

'Irresistible' suggests that an argument or idea is so convincing that one cannot logically deny or oppose it.

Intellectual Persuasion

It also can refer to a force or influence too strong to be stopped or changed by any opposition.

Uncontested Strength

'Irresistible' can be used figuratively; it doesn't always mean physical or literal strength.

Not Literal
