Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The reviewer is a singularly detested enemy because he is, unlike the hapless artist, invulnerable.
As authors, we all expect criticism from time to time, and we all have our ways of coping with unfriendly reviews.
If I get a bad review, I don't take it personally because everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Praise and criticism seem to me to operate exactly on the same level. If you get a great review, it's really thrilling for about ten minutes. If you get a bad review, it's really crushing for ten minutes. Either way, you go on.
I think, in general, it's better not to respond to reviews of your work.
It's enormously cheering to get a good review by someone who seems to understand your work.
If you have too good a time writing hostile reviews, you'll injure not only your sensibility but your soul.
I don't mind what the critics say, so long as I get some reaction. The worst thing is to be ignored.
I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise.
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
