I'm talking about the blog, rather than the Amazon reviews. I did go to check those out a few minutes ago. While most of them, indeed, were just meanness, the fact that the author trotted out the positive ones left by her family and friends as "proof" she's a great writer did kind of open the doors to the opposite.
Incidentally, the reason many people would comment online but not say anything negative to her face is not that they're too polite to tell her that her writing is bad, but because they don't want to run the risk of a person of questionable mental health shouting at them in public, or even laying into them physically. I don't generally say anything online that I wouldn't stand behind in person, but I too would be very reluctant to invite this clearly unstable individual to start swinging at me. Physical attacks never end well.
