Every review is relative b/c say someone is comparing your book to The Catcher in the Rye. . . . or the next person compares it to another one of your books. . . . the the next person compares your book to Ulysses. You could get some pedantic prick who compares Pink Slip Party to James Joyce, or you could get someone who understand that no one writing chick lit. is trying to be James Joyce. Can a writer ever really win?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12968207.post-1119665931902310452005-06-24T19:18:00.000-07:002005-06-24T19:18:00.000-07:00Blast- I meant to put my name in that 2nd comment....Blast- I meant to put my name in that 2nd comment.

Most of the reviewers are not writers themselves, and, just b/c you read a lot, doesn't mean that you can actually critique a book. <BR/><BR/>Trust me, I have had poems rejected, and you really just have to keep at it. Writing is quite subjective, and so many people will never like what you write. <BR/><BR/>Ted Hughes once told Anne Sexton to only read the bad reviews b/c it would make her work that much harder. And, in the end, if you really do read a legitimate review, Hughes would probably tell you to take the criticism and apply it to your next work. <BR/><BR/>By the way, Dixieland Sushit was great, but I will like Jane more. It's really the pop culture and sarcasm that makes your books. . . .Just one opinion:)<BR/><BR/>Best, <BR/>SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12968207.post-1119631572006885062005-06-24T09:46:00.000-07:002005-06-24T09:46:00.000-07:00Every time I write a review on amazon, I think of ...Every time I write a review on amazon, I think of the author, so I have an idea how your must feel. I left rave reviews for all 3 of your books, though! My favorite by far was Pink Slip Party and I don't know why that didn't sell as well as your first. Sometimes I think people have no taste.<BR/><BR/>But as for reviewers - it's easy to bash another's work. Did you ever see the movie "Finding Forrester" where the kid asks the writer why he isn't publishing his work anymore and he says something like "All the critics who could never produce something like this in their life, and yet they manage to bash your work in minutes." That's sort of how it works, I guess.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to your next book coming out. And here's to hoping it'll sell even more and be even better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
