Yes, if all bad reviews were like this I couldn't be more pleased :) Cos essentially it just warns off the kind of people who would never have enjoyed the book in the first place, while giving enough detail to possibly intrigue the ones who might enjoy it. I'm sure essentially that a lot of reviews must come down to "this is not the sort of thing that I like, but if it is the sort of thing that you like, you might like it" ;) Much better than "argh! It was awful, don't touch it with a bargepole!" *G* Thanks Elle!

Congrats!! I have a review like this too, where the reviewer panned the book, and then listed all the reasons why...only in such a way that if you LIKE my kind of book, was actually quite a good representation.
