I just went through having a friend demand why I hadn't reviewed his book of which he'd given me a copy. I said I hadn't gotten around to reading it yet and that didn't seem to be a requirement. So, I took some time, read the book, and wrote a review. The author was a little miffed that I didn't give it a five. I responded that when I see a book with just five reviews and they're all fives I assume it's his parents, two grandmothers, and himself.
So, I'm curious. If an author reviewing his own book is tacky, does tacky also cover friends and family? I'm a casual friend but I wuold stand behind my review.
I'm looking forward to seeing a review that says, "I want my son to get a job."
