Thankfully, that one is an anomaly. I simply stopped responding when I no longer had 'nice' things to say - unfortunately, it went on a bit elsewhere before finally dying the death it deserved.Nethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963540055415924510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-82113201065378699292009-04-30T15:07:00.000-07:002009-04-30T15:07:00.000-07:00Holy cow--I just saw the comments section about th...Holy cow--I just saw the comments section about the Carole McDonnell review, and all I can say is, uh...wow. That's about as unprofessional a reaction as you can get, and I give you full credit for staying extraordinarily polite in the face of the sarcasm and snark. Obviously I hope you enjoy <I>The Third Sign</I>, but as an author I hereby promise not to get into an argument with you, <I>on your own review site (!)</I>, about what you did and didn't like about the book when you review it. You're doing authors and readers a service by reviewing books thoughtfully, and that's the bottom line.Greg Wilsonhttp://www.gregoryawilson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-57066043385943483102009-04-28T08:52:00.000-07:002009-04-28T08:52:00.000-07:00thanks Johnthanks JohnNethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963540055415924510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-37924136579551388722009-04-27T17:17:00.000-07:002009-04-27T17:17:00.000-07:00and your contribution is made of funny!

I'm still not sure why there is a prevailing preference for books suitable for that particular demographic to be forced into the back seat. "Gritty realism" equals better/best? It's becoming too formulaic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
