Publisher's summary

SUBTITLE: "Can Motives Be Proper for Attack Reviews?" (3 Sections, 17 Headings, Approx. 15,472 words in length) Toward the end of 2012, I made the careful decision to publish an eBook on the subject of “unfairly unfavorable book reviews”, which would be the first in a three-part experimental series (observing reviewer responses to each eBook installment). I have never forgotten, at any time during this process, that most reviewers are people with honest intentions and who do a great job expressing likes and dislikes for books they have read. Still, with reviews in some circles, continuing to head the direction of “anything goes”, this experiment was important and I have no regrets for using it to help bring awareness to proper versus improper book reviewing practices. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SECTION ONE: "Effects of UNFAIRLY UNFAVORABLE Book Reviews on Independent Authors" : When a Negative Review IS NOT MERITED by a Written Work CONTENTS: 1.
