It's like obituaries, when you die they finally give you good reviews.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like my career has been a series of glowing obituaries.
Obituaries were among my favorite to write because they have elements no other news stories have - a story from start to finish with a proper conclusion.
To me, I read good reviews in lots of papers and bad reviews in lots of papers.
What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight, and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.
To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
Most books reviews aren't very well-written. They tend to be more about the reviewer than the book.
I don't generally read reviews.
A great review is great. A bad review is the worst.
The reviews are getting better, but they always do, in time, if you're still alive.
I don't read reviews, good or bad, just for my own sanity.
