First of all, your idea is amazing! As dedicated readers who invest tons of money into this industry, (I feel) we should be informed when authors are not acting on their best behavior when it comes to bashing fellow reviewers. That is the type of attitude I do not and will not support. Second of all, Kierra Cass and her agent, publicist, or whatever she is sound horrible. You would think they would understand that everyone isn't going to love everything. I can honestly say after reading this post, I have no plans to read anything from this author.

I love this series. Laughing at douchebags is always fun.

But on a more serious note, I can (somewhat) see where these authors come from. These books are their babies. They've invested a lot of time and love in them, and when someone says it's not a good book, they feel like someone's calling their baby an ugly troll. Pride of ownership and all that. But really, any sane person knows that that kind of behavior only hurts your cause--and the interwebs is forever. This kind of crap is something you can't live down, because there will always be a record of it.

I can't believe an author would do this! All of the authors I know are such lovely, genuine people, and when they get a bad review ... yeah, I'm sure it stings a little ... but they respect that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that not everyone likes the same thing.
This is dreadful.

I am, very unashamedly, going to read the book though. I got a copy for review, and I intend to make up my own mind about the book. Lets see if I drum up similar goodreads comments if I don't like it :P
I'm joking about the comments, of course - but I do want to see what I make of it on my own terms.

This was one of the first that I was personally witness to, and which I really took to heart. I consider Wendy a blogger friend, and she is a wonderful and sweet person who always reaches out to others in the community, is inclusive, generous, and uplifting. Her review was honest, and even though she disliked this book, those involved needed to respect that and get over it. There were enough people that did like this book that this shouldn't have mattered. As was, I specifically chose not to read this book because of this incident, and I had very much wanted to previously.

This is one of the reasons why I'm still wondering if I give the book a try or not.. Everybody has the right to have an opinion and yeah, sometimes it's a negative one. I don't like it when people can't handle that.. It's not that her review was mean or something like that.

thats the only reason why i cant read it because of this. but oh well. they really do look like a sore loosers talking on twitter like that. and that comment of Anonymous is just pathetic. Get over it. yeah.

First, I love this feature! This is such a great idea and I hope you do this for a long while lol
I was very hesitant to read this book because of this whole agent fiasco. What they did was definitely wrong! I did just read this book last week though and had fun, but it wasn't the best book or anything. But I got it from the library because I wasn't sure if I'd like it. Also, I didn't read it because of goodreads or amazon or anything, but because of good reviews from bloggers I trust and read often.

O, wow. I've heard of this incident, but didn't know that the agent in question is Elana Roth. I've been following her on Twitter for publishing advice before all this happened. Now I'm not sure that I want to listen to advice from someone who treats readers like that.

WOW!
Thats crazy!!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There have been MANY books that I didnt like and couldnt even finish, that others LOVED and books that I loved that others hated. It doesnt mean the book is bad or good. They are opinions. But it DOES look bad on the author and agent when they treat readers/reviewers like that!
So sad!
But thanks for sharing!!!!

I hadn't even heard about this whole thing until I went on Kiera's website and stumbled upon a random comment that someone using the handle "Ashamed of You" left. The person wrote "I think you should be ashamed of yourself. Just read what you have done to Wendy Darling. Instead of acting with class, you acted like a monster. You are an ugly person."

In response Kiera wrote:

"Hi, Ashamed. Sorry to call you that, but it's all I've got.

I'm very sorry to have offended you. The entire incident that unfolded on twitter/goodreads kind of sucked. You’re right, it wasn’t pretty. But I want to clarify a few things, and I hope you’ll hear me out. If you go back and look, you'll see my agent did the name calling, not me, and I hope that you can tell from my videos/posts/twitter feed that I'm not a malicious person. What Elana said was done in haste and wasn't appropriate, and she apologized for it. I've also written to Wendy multiple times apologizing, and I keep hoping she'll write me back. So far, no luck, but I’m still optimistic..."

There was more to the response but honestly it's sad that her publicist acting on her own called someone else a bitch and Kiera is the one with the fallout. She is a good author and it sucks that she allowed that kind of commentary on a such a public forum. If anything, people should be ashamed of her for that, not for what someone else said.

Thats why if you want to vent, don't do it in writing

My heart actually sped up in anger when she called her "a Disney character." What AUTHOR doesn't know that Wendy Darling is a Barrie character? Oh the ignorance!!!!!

I really hate when GR authors slobber all over their own work, you know, hugging it and kissing it and coddling it and 5 starring it and singing it to sleep like an ickle baby. They just can not let the work stand on its own. It's dishonest and unethical.
