Most rankings of my book are either 1s or 5s. This tells more about the reader than the book itself.
An excerpt from a review:
"I hated the book, and I started reading it because I hated it, but just as the old saying goes, "Don't judge a book by it's cover" (even though the actual cover was alluring).
"The author has a brilliant mind, and by the way, if you are reading this or you already did, and you are about to give a bad review, think twice about that! He also poked fun at himself, didn't he?
"He is right, and it is a discussion in our house many times, society as a whole, simply sucks. There is a lot wrong with this world, and I don't care what political party you are affiliated with, there are some serious issues that if kept unresolved, will be our final doom.
"Did I mention yet how awesome this author is?? Truly divine read, if I do say so myself. Flows brilliantly, a real masterpiece, one that I hope I see my children bring home from school as part of a discussion someday."

I write reviews for books all the time, and it makes me sad to see so many reviewers, review a book on the content alone. and of course if it was interesting to them. Of course this is part of reviewing a book, but you can not base a book review on whether you agree with the author or understand the book! You have to have an open mind, I could go on about my pet peeves with book reviewers, but this will neverend;) It just shows society as a whole, and how people are just not the same as they used to be.
I personally enjoyed your book very much. I appreciate thinking outside the box!
