Would it be weird to send an email to a professor who's book I loved?

I read a book from an academic. It has no reviews anywhere but I really loved it and was wondering if would be weird to email them and tell them that I enjoyed their book?

This isn't weird—it's a rare academic author who wouldn't be delighted to receive such an email. Consider describing what aspect of their style or content you especially enjoyed. Don't feel bad if you don't hear back. It's also a rare academic author who devotes much time for correspondence.
