I do believe that we should call a spade, a spade, but as I said, I'm just one who would prefer not to review. :)D.G.

All yo-yos have one. I'll be the first to tell you, I'm not always right. And if an author I gave only two stars to ends up laughing all the way to the bank, I'll still be happy for them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784637432963296219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363690549781283899.post-2829738926479590822014-08-09T19:35:47.815-07:002014-08-09T19:35:47.815-07:00Great post Kurt!

I look for the good qualities and if I really didn't like it, I just don't review. I know that doesn't help by not giving constructive criticism, but I just don't like to hurt anyone's feelings. I'm a 'do onto others' kind of person. But I will say that many readers will leave a crappy review on a good book just because it's not their genre. Well then guess what? Don't read it, but if you're so curious to read, then please don't review. :) My two cents.D.G. Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292901895982357952noreply@blogger.com
