The use of such strong wording in what is a difference of opinion and taste is flabbergasting. I have a don't like it, don't read it stance. Tess was always a good read because she had something to say that went beyond superficial self-promotion. She is one of the most intelligent and thoughtful people I've meet. As others have said, at least we still have her books. Damn.

And poor Tess must wonder what she did wrong. I too hope she sticks with the blog because she writes plenty of interesting posts about the frontline of being a writer. As for Amazon, I solve the problem by writing all my reviews myself, including those that appear under the name of "Harriet Klausner". I saw a little of this and was baffled.

So they didn't really get the orignal blogpost wrong. But thanks for the comments. John,
