Like I said on my...That&#39;s a very good question. Like I said on my blog, a Goodreads author asked me to take back my bad critic of her book and I did. But then, even though I didn&#39;t want to hurt her feelings or make her cry, when you publish a book, it&#39;s not guaranteed that everyone will like it ! A critic reflects only the critic writer&#39;s point of view, you can&#39;t like everything. But it&#39;s true that being on the net makes it harder, you can join the authors, they are able to see what you write, maybe you are friends with them on FB, so it&#39;s not easy... <br />But I&#39;ll say post it anyway, this only reflects your opinion and you have the right to have a different opinion than the rest !Red Izahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343756274551914014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-87127779382627684432013-07-12T13:43:21.100-04:002013-07-12T13:43:21.100-04:00I would write them and let them know that it wasn&...I would write them and let them know that it wasn&#39;t her thing. Give them the option of sharing an excerpt or guest posting on your blog. That way, you don&#39;t sever ties with that author (and any authors that they may know). Just because she didn&#39;t like it doesn&#39;t mean that your readers won&#39;t. There are a ton of books that I hated that everyone on the planet loved.

I&#39;m debating on putting it out there on Amazon, I really just don&#39;t get all of the 5 star reviews of the particular book I am dealing with right now. And the author/blogger drama has gotten insane! I try to stay out of that mess. lol<br /><br /><i>C.S. Maxwell</i><br />Hey hon! We&#39;ve had a few 2 star reviews on here before and I like to think that we keep them constructive and I like to find at least one good thing about the book to say. But with this one, there really isn&#39;t anything good to say about it. At least, imo. lol Oy<br />I am totally with you on the editing, the funny thing, this book acknowledges two editors. That is crazy! <br />I&#39;ve seen other bloggers talk on FB though about emailing an author they received a book from about the problems they had and I actually wrote one out but once I re-read it (again and again) I just don&#39;t feel comfortable sending it because I don&#39;t want to come off like I am bashing her. So I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll be doing that. Maybe I&#39;m missing those brass balls between my legs or something. lol<br />Thanks for stopping by!Crystal @ RBtWBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452361936625217579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-41430740042020354142013-07-12T07:25:23.029-04:002013-07-12T07:25:23.029-04:00Crystal, I loved this question, cause I am getting...Crystal,<br />I loved this question, cause I am getting ready to write a 2 star review for a book I got from NetGalley. For me, it sucked. I couldn&#39;t get into it, didn&#39;t like the characters, and it had a few grammatical issues. Although, the main problem was the characters. I was not diggin&#39; them. I will be honest with my review, without bashing (I hope it is taken this way at least). But as far as writing an author? That&#39;s something that I have never done. Grammatical issues though, is something that I feel is important in writing. An author should take the time to edit (or get edited) their work. It&#39;s part of the process. Take pride! With so many self publishing books out there, readers now have to wade through a bunch of garbage to find a gem. A few grammatical errors I can overlook. Shit happens. But repetitive mistakes make for harsh reading and to me, is just plain laziness. I am not a grammar guru by any means, so my work is read, re-read, edited, and re-read again. <br />I&#39;ll shut up now, lol. C.S.
