Reviews

So this is something I've been pondering for a long time. If you're a writer, do you get all stroppy when another writer reviews your work? What if the review is less than favorable? I ask because I want to give people reviews. I do. I know how it is to want those delicious, delicious opinions. But I am friends with a lot of these people, writers trying to make it like I am, and what if I don't like their book? Horrors! I'm honest but kind, I think. Still, for some that's not enough. THEY WANT ALL THE STARS. ALL OF THEM. What do you guys think? Reviews from your peers? Wonderful, insightful aid from your fellow soldiers, or soul crushing blitherings from the Who Do You Think You Are peanut gallery?
