I'm sorry that guy was a jerk to you. Some people just can't handle criticism and it makes me wonder how they ever expect to become a better writer. Unless, of course, the author who made that comment to you believes that he doesn't *need* to improve.gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-54367804741773659342011-05-31T22:07:24.468-04:002011-05-31T22:07:24.468-04:00Wow - how classy.

I had one person make a snarky remark when I reviewed his book and I basically lost all respect. It makes me think more highly of Jackie Kessler to know that she can be respectful about criticism.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-39380979299351799732011-05-31T00:02:49.534-04:002011-05-31T00:02:49.534-04:00First of all, thanks to all of my new followers.

I gained several more and have now hit over 75!<br /><br />Secondly, my computer is going to die because my charger's not working so I won't be able to respond to all of you individually.

Now, of course, not everyone will have the opportunity to discuss a book with the author so a review should never be influenced by what an author says (as yours wasn't). <br /><br />It's nice how she reacted, even if you weren't too positive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-35650346735984221782011-05-30T02:53:36.411-04:002011-05-30T02:53:36.411-04:00I have Smoke and Mirrors on my TBR.
