I get plenty of that, so don’t feel sorry for me! Please allow me this indulgence, and also understand that I am speaking on behalf of other authors who frequently see their books misrepresented in reviews. I hope it doesn’t sound defensive, or like I’m fishing for positive feedback. So here is something I’ve never done-respond to reviews of my books. (My writer friends talk about this a lot-and we often laugh about it, though for some it is admittedly frustrating, since reviewers tend to get the last word even when they misunderstand and misrepresent what an author actually said.) But in some cases, the reasons for giving Heaven the lowest possible rating were entertaining, and other times enlightening.

People are entitled to not like any book, of course, and I always welcome criticism of my books, and while they’re not fun, I usually manage not to take bad reviews personally.
