I'm sure many interpret it as 'Do you agree with the review?' which is a different thing entirely!

It's the level where you could have had somebody, but you lost them!

A five star review that says 'I really enjoyed it' but the one star (tombstone!) review that references the language or the setting or the characterisation gives me a choice when I come to write another book. I have been told about reviews posted that never reach the Amazon page. Truly, it's a baffling system!DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803989273524731892noreply@blogger.com
