Ok.
I guess it was a matter of time until I received my first 'critical' review. Now that it's happened, I have to resist giving comment in reply due to frustration. I'm not going to quote it here, just to say that it pissed me off. It seemed like the reader was after pulp fiction rather than a work with
some depth and subtlety.
Perhaps some of the criticism was valid, but suggesting that I could have utilised my Australian nationality as a point of difference really got to me. Should I have had zombie drop bears or blood hungry kangaroos to Aussie it up? That was just annoying.
The worst part of the review is that the reviewer didn't read the book, just used the 'look inside' function. Who writes a review on the 'look inside' function?
Oh well... I hope someone with a bit of brains and patience leaves me a review soon.
Here is my visual response to the most recent review:
