The tragedy happens when that kind of venting moves into the open and the author ends up internet famous for all the wrong reasons.<br /><br />I know lots of authors say never read reviews on your own books, but it really is very hard to resist sometimes ;PSophie Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768033409563305140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-90170354196734566362015-03-16T13:22:23.460+00:002015-03-16T13:22:23.460+00:00I found this article very interesting and helpful ...I found this article very interesting and helpful as I evaluate the points from both authors' and reviewers side. I review books and do my best to be fair in my reviews, allotting the proper rating too. I sometimes see other reviews that puzzle me because a reviewer will state that the book was nice, yet a 1 star rating. Others may bash a book unfairly because the genre is "not their favourite." On the other hand, I've read books which required a glossary or cast of characters that would have made reading comprehension much easier for me. A prologue can be handy when the book is part of a series. Kudos to authors who can readers understand <br />what transpired from a previous book when it is included so neatly in the sequel.Michelle Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070440041078195958noreply@blogger.com
