As a writer myself, I am particularly careful in crafting reviews. A good review can be the best thing to happen to a writer all day. A bad review can drive her to pulling out her hair. One famous author (who shall remain nameless) has a husband who was so upset by a negative review on his wife’s latest book that he wrote a scathing reply, breaking the internet before Kim Kardashian got her hands (and other parts) onto it. And here’s this famous story (not the original article, but it includes reactions) about author Kathleen Hale, who was so upset about a one-star review that she stalked the reviewer right up to her front doorstep before coming to her senses. Clearly, reviewing can be dangerous business.
