Arrgh. A Negative Review

Well, it had to happen sooner or later I suppose.

Flashpoint: Book One of the Underground received a negative review. Okay, negative is putting it mildly, it received 1 star (out of 5) at Amazon.

D. Henry (ca, usa) - See all my reviews 2 of the 3 reviews are written by the author. No place in the description of the book do they describe what the novel really is -- a propaganda piece for fundamentalist beliefs. There is nothing wrong with this type of novel. If those are your beliefs and you chose to engage in reading this type of material -- please enjoy. If you do not want to read a book with a strong pro-fundamentalist christian slant then do not read this book. With apologies to Mr. Creed it is also fairly poorly written. I tried to hang with it despite my discomfort with the subject material but in the end the terrible writing did me in and I had to put it down. Left it in a hotel room next to the bible figuring that's where he would like it to be anyhow. One word version of this review = drivel.

Obviously this reader didn't see the book description (with the information about Christian Fundamentalists and the Body of Christ) nor did s/he notice that the book is listed under the category of religion/ spirituality. And, I am thankful that s/he did leave it next to the hotel room Bible! what better place for it. As for the author writing 2/3 reviews? I have no idea what that refers to . . .

Guess it is a case of grin and bear it!
