I don't disagree with that - its often how I know someone really hasn't paid attention to the series if they just "write her off" like that. It is a shorthand sound bite for a "volcano" or "stormy" personality, though. Horo has a lot of shields up -- falling in love is painful and getting over a loss is even more painful. Her deciding to lower those shields is roughly the only parallel from my point of view.
But I still agree with the earlier poster in that the book Horo is more complex than the anime Horo - its just the nature of the mediums involved.
