Yes, I wanna write a coherent story and be halfway entertaining, and I love it when people review me with stuff like "Hilarious! Do not read with a full bladder! Very funny book!" (Dennis Lyda) but try as I might, I'm not God and I just can't seem to force people to like my stuff. That's up to them. Going off on Twitter or my blog or whatever just seems like bad manners. Besides, the critic may have a point, and while it may be too late for this book it's not too late to think about said point for the next one. Yeah, revealing too much of the ending is cheesy and kind of a sloppy review technique, but on the other hand, if the writer puts it out there, it's available to be found. (Yea verily, even for free from one's public library.) Oh, by the way, Rosebud is a sled. I'm just sayin'.
