Oy. Yiikes. It does not seem the author of the book you reviewed is comfortable in his skin. That comes with the territory, doesn't it? Want to write and publish? Accept that some people won't like it. It's just a fact of life. I've written several book reviews, and also a few reviews for publishing houses over at my blog. I quite enjoy reviewing books -- maybe it makes me feel like a kid again -- writing a sort of book report. :) About reviewing a book before you've completed it, I think that's completely OK. Especially if you've also stated that you didn't finish it. I've taken that tactic before and simply mentioned that I didn't finish the book very early on in my comments about the book. I see no harm at all in that. I've been contacted by authors only on very pleasant terms -- I guess I've been lucky thus far. I have to admit, though, I still cringe and hold my breath when I get feedback about things I've written. I don't know if I'll ever get over that initial zap. I really enjoyed this post, George, but I always do! Enjoy your day. :) .-= Lori (JaneBeNimble)´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JaneBeNimble/~3/4er9Q5HSwJI/" rel="nofollow">Omm Writer</a> =-. Hi George,
