The reviewer is a singularly detested enemy because he is, unlike the hapless artist, invulnerable. ↗

Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard. ↗

Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae. ↗

I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work. ↗

I feel reviewers are tougher on comedies in general. They don't take them seriously, and the ones that get great reviews are not necessarily the ones that I like. ↗
