What’s In A Book Review?

Leave a comment

I watched a film once – can’t remember the title – where the main character was upset at the review he received for a novel he’d written. His view sparking discussions at a get-together.  At the time I didn’t know what to think about it. Meaning to say, I didn’t really care about how he was feeling about the not-so-nice review.

He wanted to know  how can anyone judge someone’s artistic expression or their style?

Now, I understand where he is coming from with this website designed to rate books with a letter grade.

I guess my question goes out to all the struggling writers, and the successful ones – how do you feel about your work getting a letter grade – past school – that is?

Happy New Year everyone!!!

It is time to get back to business, I know today’s traffic on the roads around San Francisco, was a simple reminder that life is once again back to normal. The definition of normal naturally, varies depending on what it is you call your lifestyle.

Anyway, I am excited to report that on Valentine’s day I will reveal my third novel cover design and title.  That’s an easy date to remember – AND if not then…

Please drop me a line  –  should you wish to get a first glimpse on the eve of Valentine’s Day instead.
