When Destiny Knocks (Destiny Saga, #1)
"Can't we just all get along?"--Rodney King
"Sticks and stones might break my bones but names will neve hurt me."

This is another author judging a reviewer for a negative opinion. I've read the review in question and it seems very nice, although the reviewer could have modified it after the fallout. Even if she did, the author has no right to judge a reviewer and that automatically puts them on my do-not-read list. I eventually review every book I read and I will not lie or change my review or change my habits out of fear of reprisal. So I simply will not read an author who feels her/his opinion is more important than mine.

What is with this drama? I let people know about this because doing so is both a natural and a logical consequence for being so rude and ridiculous. Plus, since Hamlet, almost universally accepted as one of the greatest works of literature in the history of the English Language, doesn't even get four stars on Goodreads, no one has the right to judge anyone else's review because obviously, this is all OPINION and everyone has the right to his or her own OPINION. Sheesh people.
