Smart and interesting…

Smart and interesting post by Justine Larbalestier on why she likes bad reviews. Or rather, why authors should be okay with reviewer honesty. And even grateful for it, as lovers of literature. Even if it sometimes stings like blazes.

That said, I also love this quote, stumbled across in Scalzi's blog comments: Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.  Kurt Vonnegut
