I have yet to see a book that doesn't have a similar spread of approval or otherwise. We can all do our own research on any book nominated, and make up our own minds. |
But notice that the review profile on Goodreads and Amazon both show 1-star reviews to be minimal - the expected book-to-reader mismatch that happens to even the best of books. But on Audible we see a very different profile - 1-star counts not far behind the 5-star counts (for story). If you accept that the book is at least good for the right audience (given the number of very positive reviews) then we must conclude that for some reason Audible is attracting more of the wrong audience ... I wonder why that is.

This was me considering the possible negative reactions.
I haven't decided whether to disregard them or not - yet. I do have some other possibilities in mind and may decide to go with something a bit less obviously touchy.
