Many a reviewer enjoyed <i>The Egyptian</i> by Layton Green but <a href="http://thenewpodlerreviews.blogspot.com/2011/08/egyptian-by-layton-green.html" rel="nofollow">I didn't</a>. <br /><br />Not everyone will make positive connections to an author's work. There will always be a fraction that won't like it. Pick one of your favorite authors and see how well their work stacks up on Amazon. He/She might have a 1,000 5-star reviews, but still managed 22 1-star reviews. You'll scratch your head about those 22, but shrug it off because you love that author. <br /><br />So please accept your 20:1 positive ratio as a good thing and keep writing. :)DEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266406676643270732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251174860490089038.post-38812065267362845352012-10-25T09:45:28.772-05:002012-10-25T09:45:28.772-05:00Thanks for the attention. I appreciate the reviewe...Thanks for the attention. I appreciate the reviewer's care, even though I didn't see eye-to-eye with him or her. (Nor did the 22 reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, only two of which were from my wife or a friend.) <br /><br />Gotta plead guilty to the typos! First editions are rough that way.<br /><br />I'm glad that there's a site like Podler for indie book reviews. Best of luck to us both!THERESALWAYSADOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570844969223896307noreply@blogger.com
