DEEP THOUGHTS BY SPECIAL READERS
Every published author receives good and bad reviews. There is no way to flee from the tomatoes tossed our way from time to time. No sense in covering your ears when you hear the ugly boos and hisses. Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it. I actually appreciate a reader taking the time to review my book, even if it is a negative review. Here is a selection of my very favorite bad reviews. Actually a bad review can make my day, especially when it reads like the gems below. Who doesn't love comic relief? Every single person views the world, art, music, everything in a different way. I find it fascinating and interesting to read negative reviews. You often find one thing that really repelled a reader, forcing that person to rush to their computer to write a review for all the world to see. I'm interested in those things. Goes to prove that one person can fall in love with a book while another person can detest it. Enjoy the reviews below. They are from my most cherished, special readers. I love you all! I really do. ;) ~Alisha
HORRIBLE BOOK
Posted by Anonymous on Barnes and Noble
It was a large porno. The characters are not the best and it was a long book with many twists and turns. I hated it after about 50 pages. I don't recommened this book to anyone.
***Thank you, sweetie pie! The only thing I would change about your review is the title. It should say HORRIBLE 50 PAGES. I will take note. No sex scenes in erotica books and make it more predictable.***~ Kisses and Love, Alisha

THIS AUTHOR SHOULD HAVE STUDIED GREEK MYTHOLOGY

If she'd have cracked a single book on Greek myth, she would have learned the Greeks didn't have reincarnation. I can't recommend it.
***Darling! Reincarnation is everywhere in myth. Anyone can google it and find thousands of pages to verify it within seconds. Thank you for not recommending my book. You are a jewel! *** ;), Alisha

Dismal
Posted by Beth on Amazon
I must have read a different book. I should say I must have started a different book. I could not finish this. It is not romantic, not erotic and not even interesting. The paranormal aspects are poorly conceived and the writing is poor. I am not referring to spelling or poor sentence structure. This just does not flow and when the only way you can make the action even remotely logical is through drugging your characters I have a problem. When I found myself skimming rather than reading and not finding anything that captured my attention after reading about a third of the book I gave up. I don't usually write negative reviews but when the only two reviews give five stars for something that I really found dismal, I just want to provide a little balance. I very rarely fail to finish a book even if I find it lacking. Enough said.
***Thank you for your uplifting review, Ms. Sunshine! Thank you for saying I don't have poor spelling or sentence structure. I appreciate you taking the time to review my book and look forward to pleasing you with more marijuana laced love scenes in the future. ;) You made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside with that glowing review. *** ~ Hugs, Alisha***
