If I were a hotel, I'd hang this over my door...


That 4.5 star emblem, I mean. Yay for a 4.5 stars review from Manic Reviews for Man In The Middle. I'm so pleased. I love this two story collection. I was also happy to see this. And not so happy to see this. What happened there!? That is the person I want to climb in their lap and feed them cookies and say "It really is good...why don't you give it another try?"

But I'm not allowed to do that. A judge told me so...heh. Kidding. But this is one of those life lessons where I have to be happy with my good and let the bad have no power over me. Which if you know me, is super duper looper hard. But I try.

So thanks to Claudia at Manic Readers for stuff like this: "I loved Ms. Marsden’s writing style (I’m a big fan of the first person), and the way she displayed the character’s emotions, as well as describing in detail what they were exactly doing. You can never be too graphic in an erotic tale, and Ms. Marsden does a splendid job in depicting the confusion, struggle, love..." You made my week!

XOXO

But the half star is so subjective - how could you change it even if you knew where it had gone - I've read stories that I've actively disliked but other people have loved - so how to allocate the star?

Congrats on a nice review :)

I sometimes think the worst part about those simple ratings is the fact that you have no idea why those people don't like it, or at least don't like it much. Perhaps they were disappointed that it wasn't, say, a cookbook. Perhaps they bought it thinking it was about Elke Sommer. You know, stuff over which you have no power.
