I'm about to find out...
if Google is picking up our reviews. The author I most recently reviewed - let's call him "ott-Scay igler-Say" - is over on the river arguing with reviewers who give him less than lavish praise. And I gave him 3.5 stars...

So is 3.5 stars less than 'lavish'..?? Sounds decent if not lavish...
Still worth arguing over for 'ott-Scay' though, huh..??
...tom...

RE: I'm about to find out...
Wow, if I ever publish anything and get a 3.5 from Rex I'll know I've done something remarkable. Since that would mean Rex gave a positive rating to fantasy or soft SF.
So do you think he argues with critics of the podcast? Does his podcast vehicle allow for criticism?

3.5?
Maybe if he wants better reviews, he should write better books? Just a suggestion. |

Quote: cdm72 Maybe if he wants better reviews, he should write better books? Just a suggestion. I duuno. Apparently I have higher standards than most people - his count at "the river" is 122 *****, 10 ****, 7 ***, and (new yesterday) 1 ** (with whom the author immediately "engaged")
Seems a lot of people disagree with me. Too bad they're all wrong...

I dunno
I'm still saying write better books is the answer, but then again it just seems so obvious it can't be right. |
