Hi all,
Original message:
What an appalling nasty note, Ann.
Why? I agree, the review as you quote it does make one flinch. That's
not appalling or nasty. It's worth flinching over. It's saccharine,
it's drivel. I was agreeing with you and saying that it is probably
not the author of the book's fault, but is probably taken from the book
jacket. I thought that the author of the review, not the book was over
the top. It is, as I say, worth flinching over.
Therefore, I advised you to read the book, make your own judgment and
write a review. That's not nasty, cynical, yes, but not nasty.
Sorry, guess I didn't express myself well enough. Let's make it
simple. Yes, the description is worthy of a flinch. No, you can't
change people from writing drivel. Yes, you can read the actual text,
make your own judgment and write a review.
If I appeared nasty, I didn't mean to at all, just speaking plainly.
Ann P.
