Hi, Yarrow. Nixie, here. Your rant was featured here:
"For Authors Newsletter (September 30, 2015)"  Congratulations!

Overall Impression
The title and brief description explained what I was about to read, and that was an immediate draw. I try to keep track of book bombs, but I'm horrible at keeping lists. Amazon helps out, reminding me that I already purchased a particular book. That's how forgettable some are.

A few thoughts
I liked that you didn't specify the novel's title, but on the other hand, you wouldn't be biasing anyone. We're capable of reading reviews and making our own decisions. And writers speak their minds. However, I respect your unique choice.

Excellent job making this rant not only personable, but coherent. It was easy to sympathize with you because being disappointed by a book is crushing. Thank goodness for people who review what they've read or bought.

My disappointment was with a literary book by Donna Tartt. Her first book "The Secret History" was memorable and outstanding. I finished reading it and started all over again. Her second book "The Goldfinch" was horrible, yet it received all the prestigious awards. I bought the book when it came out because her first was stellar.

Like you, I felt a bit foolish, was I the only one who disliked it? Had I missed something? As the reviews came in, my opinion was nearly unanimous. I was vindicated.


Lasting Impression
Excellent closing paragraph showed the reader a side of you that I picked up on as I read. You're not some person going on a rant at all. Your love affair was broken, but you're not afraid to venture forth again. The comedy in that last sentence left me smiling.

Nice work!
