Comments on: Letters to Rollins by R.K. Overton http://ireadoddbooks.com/letters-to-rollins-by-rk-overton/ No really, I read lots of odd books Thu, 17 May 2012 16:25:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: anitadalton http://ireadoddbooks.com/letters-to-rollins-by-rk-overton/comment-page-1/#comment-129 anitadalton Mon, 07 Dec 2009 04:25:51 +0000 http://ireadoddbooks.com/?p=124#comment-129 Amazon reviews are a toilet wherein people show their turd-like ids and never stop crapping because being bitter shows one's indie cred. Or something. But assholes abound over there. I especially loathe that people can comment to one's review. Prickly people to this day manage to create sock puppets to respond to every review that makes them itchy. A flawed system to be sure. I made a single review there and never went back to share my oh-so-valuable opinions. But then again, a review that bad ensures I will, nea MUST, get More Letters to Rollins. When I posted a link to this review in another blog a woman who is a "friend" on that journal said the review snippet made her blood run cold. She was, for a moment, concerned that perhaps a letter or two she had written to Rollins when she was a teen might have made it into the book. She was utterly relieved to learn the letters were fake. Thanks for commenting, RK. When I get my hands on the follow-up, I bet I review it.
