The
Swallow just got a 2 out of 5 stars by an ARC reader I sent it to back
in March 2016. Why am I sharing it and excited? Because even though she
only thought it was okay, I felt it was an honest review of my book, and
it is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to write a very realistic book
even and make it believable. See for yourself...
GOODREADS REVIEW:
After reading The Swallow, an advanced copy given to me, I can say that this was an ok story. It took me awhile to read it because in my opinion it was a bit to realistic for my taste. Nevertheless, I did like reading about Kathryn`s story. There were a few moments where I was wondering if the author thought of taking another angle then the one she took. I love the emotional experience that is written in The Swallow. I didn't like the she loss her memory, but I loved how aware to brain injuries is used here. I would recommend The Swallow to those looking for realistic stories.
Years
ago, I learned to take constructive criticism, and it has served me
well. I love it when a reader connects with the book I wrote and adores
every part of it. But I am grateful for the reader that didn't like it
or thought it was okay and shared why. That helps me improve as a
writer and also opens my eyes to what I really like in the books I read
and write.
How are you at criticism?
