I didn't mean to offend the Religious Right. Honest.
Today I got my first negative review for New Coastal Times, and it was a doozy. My other 12 reader reviews on Amazon have all been glowing, resulting in an overall Five Star rating. But not any more. Jeez. (oops, maybe I shouldn't use that word)
The problem was, the reviewer was offended because of political and religious reasons. And, honestly, I didn't think there was anything very political in the novel, although I did go on about organized religion and religious fanatics.
Anyway... I was wondering if others here have had similar experiences. I've pasted the review below:
Al Gore Possessed, July 14, 2010
By Frankie Sutton (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New Coastal Times (Kindle Edition)
I bought this book based on the reviews that others had left. I love a well written apocalyptic story, this was not it. It was too Al Gorish and way too anti-Christian. Of course, I don't really think there was any religion that wasn't pretty much trashed in this book. The first part of the book was of course the rant about how us horrible human beings have caused the earth to warm and all the political statements of Al Gore and Obama.
It was supposed to be a fiction but it was really a treatise on global warming.
I really wanted to enjoy the book and without the political undertones and Christian bashing, it would have been a good story.
