Another anonymous review for Bright
I have been getting lots of feedback via email for Bright. A few of the contributors didn't even ask to be anonymous but I did it out of respect for their privacy as they did not post reviews on the main review page. Today I got another email by a young lady who does want to remain anonymous, and I love this review...it has an unusual point of view about what many other readers do not enjoy reading about: the cheating content!
"Honestly, I really loved your writing and the emotion in your story. It packed a punch and definitely made me feel a lot of things. I really felt for Walter and Monty. I think the hardest part was Monty. I was mad at him and yet, I did see that he needed to hit rock bottom. I grew a tough skin over the years and all the cheating did was make the book more angsty, which I love! Angst is good for me. And the health struggles Walter had were heartbreaking. I felt really bad for him, and part of the reason my anger at Monty was so strong at times, was because of Walter's health complaints. But saying that, I really did love the cheating aspect because it was believable and not stupid and just because the author wanted to make people angry."
Yes indeed. I do make people angry. As the reader above says, it's not in a way where I sit back and laugh at readers being repulsed and angry. But the things I write about? They make people very angry. I can imagine some readers' disgust when they read Crush and come upon the child abuse and rape content. Yes, you're supposed to be disgusted, yes you're supposed to be angry as hell at people who harm and rape their children! If you feel sickened in body and soul reading these scenes, you are a human with a healthy conscience. The same goes for Monty cheating on Walter, Monty treating Walter with complete and utter disregard, trying to make light of his deeds, calling it "casual sex" and accusing Walter of "taking things too seriously". It ought to make one angrier AFTER they get married. If you're angry, that's what I'm shooting for. Emotional reactions in readers are the gold in your pan. :D
