Some Thoughts on Authors Commenting on Book Reviews

I saw the most interesting thing while I was perusing book reviews yesterday. Not my own book reviews, obviously, because I don’t have any books out yet, but someone else’s.

And it wasn’t even a book review that I found interesting, but a comment to a book review. I’m not even sure how I ended up in the comments to a book review other than I was shocked and curious thatthere were so many comments below a particular review.

Anyway…

The review was a 4-star review of a book that shall remain unname...
