Ms. Carlson has written 90 books. That has to mean something! Sure some are better than others but that's the way it is with ALL writers--published or unpublished--some are better than others. Please don't write her off because of one review. I would like to encourage you to go to the bookstore, read a chapter or two of this book and form your own opinion. You could totaly disagree with me; you might walk out of that bookstore with your own copy of As Young As We Feel by Melody Carlson. If so, please come back and tell me what you think.Jessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419861560916618815.post-38243000365717572672010-04-12T05:03:58.921-05:002010-04-12T05:03:58.921-05:00its nice ,It's just too bad that she didn'...its nice ,It's just too bad that she didn't get your critique before she published and embarassed herself. <br /><a href="http://www.bpojobsathome.com" rel="nofollow"> home jobs india </a>prashanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04583385332262124749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419861560916618815.post-31960505879063408742010-04-05T17:36:17.045-05:002010-04-05T17:36:17.045-05:00Your honesty is the quality I too love most about ...Your honesty is the quality I too love most about you.

True friends tell us the truth. Good job, Jess.<br /><br />P.S. The premise of this book is so promising.

If you are going to join the multitudes of the author's friends and family saying, Oh, it's sooooo good!" then you should not critique. Would you want your Doctor to tell you, "You are doing fine!" when he really thinks you have two weeks before you croak? It's just too bad that she didn't get your critique before she published and embarassed herself.

No one likes or wants to hear a bad review of her work, just as no one wants to hear her baby is ugly. But this is your blog. If you don't feel comfortable recommending this book, you have to say so and say why. Otherwise you compromise your blog's integrity and your integrity. I don't think this was a mean review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
