Thanks - and I absolutely agree! I don't mind writing negative reviews where I feel they're deserved, I must admit, and I try to always be constructive about it rather than just saying 'I hate it' - but it's always a bit awkward when I have to send an email to the publicist saying 'Hey, thanks for the book - but here's my 2-star review killing it'. Haha, never a good moment! I do like to read negative reviews of books, just because they're more likely to point out specific bugbears that might be one of my pet hates too. Advance warning, if you will.

Anyway, I've rambled on quite enough - I'm off to get stuck into a GOOD book!

Just wanted to say how much I appreciated your review of 'Bumped' by Megan McCafferty. I got a copy for review from Random House and have been struggling to find someone else who didn't like it! I thought you hit the nail right on the head - it was all over the place narratively, the over-reliance on jargon to set the futuristic scene was confusing, and I turned the page at the end and wondered where the rest of the book had gone. Thank you - maybe I'll be brave enough to turn in my own review after all! It'll be going up on LibraryThing but I get so nervous about sending bad reviews back to the publishers! :)
