There's a post on a blog somewhere by an author talking about how authors are sensitive people and that others should keep that in mind, and so on. Yeah, I'll keep that in mind when deciding who to spend my money on, and it won't be the ones who publicly cry over a bad review. I don't have the energy to deal with that.

Wow so it happen to you too. I totally agree with you. I will spend my money elsewhere. I seldom give a 2 star rating if it's that bad it be a DNF book for me. It be nice if Good Reads had a place we could put private comments on a book we read so I could remember what I thought of it without risking an author's wrath.
