I had to have a little smile this morning....

...I got up to read my first negative review on Amazon. I almost laughed out loud. Seriously it was sooo ridiculous that it was actually funny!

In some ways Amazon reviews remind me of my escort reviews - they can say more about the person writing them, and certainly this is true with the one I got this morning.

Glamorised my book is not - maybe different to her experiences - yes, but that's all down to how I market myself. We all choose what level of the market we want to be in. My book's definitely a warts and all from being given a pooey towel to dry myself with on a date, to getting a dicky tummy and stinking out someone's bathroom, sex with chimpanzees (...btw no I didn't :), a guy I was with saying he'd killed all his friends and girlie trumps. Ok I picked out some of the grossest/shocking bits to prove a point lol :)

Now I'm all for constructive criticism, and there will be many people who will find that my book is not their cup of tea or that it's not what they expected, however this review's a joke! It screams of someone jealous and bitter. I wonder if they could write a book. Judging by the review, most likely not lol :)

If anyone has read my book and disagrees, if you have the time please do write me a review on Amazon. All helpful positive reviews are very much appreciated :)
