Some of my reviewers seem to be very misguided by what they read, understandably.

I think that's a great idea. Currently page 99 of Few Are Chosen is running at 22% pf readers somewhat likely or likely to buy the book 58% would read on and 21% are unlikely to buy it. I'm pretty chuffed with that as the average for my genre is 49%. My page 99 is part of a key scene in the book which sets up the premise of the whole trilogy. It's about 10 pages of conversation, an island of calm in the middle of a sea of full-on action!
