LOL, fauzan. It is. Ridiculous. I'm bummed over this one because I have had conversations with her and she seemed like such a sweet person. I just told someone I thought she was great the other day.
I know. I would have missed it if I hadn't seen someone else tweet it. Someone will always catch this shit. They need to stop.
Me too. I gave it a 3 star rating. I was on the fence about reading this one. The decision has just been made for me.
Tweeting this on twitter, they know what they are doing. It is getting the message across publicly - best thing for an author reading a bad review is to rant privately with friends or family.
Cynically? I think it helps drums up drama which equals interests and sales. I know a snarky,critical review which gets a backlash helps with publicity but there is definitely an issue with a faction of YA blogging and with some authors who have this BE NICE attitude. But the fallout isn't nice which I find ironic :P
Right. I think I actually sell more books from my negative reviews than my positive ones. Everyone reads the negative ones. I doubt many read the books I rave about. Oh, and I ABHOR the Be Nice attitude. The day I have to stop being honest is the day I quit blogging.
I totally agree, and I have bought books due to a negative review - because it appealed to me. I think most readers would prefer an honest review than a sanitised one any day.
Michelle, for me it wasn't you that was the problem. :) It was the other author calling us "haters" that I took issue with. So you are fine with me.
