I hadn't realized until I wrote my first novel, that thick skin was an essential skill for the writer. If it was a job ad, I am sure it was say "thin skinned need not apply." I have had great reviews - I am so lucky and pleased. But, some trickling comments including, "I hate the title" and "I wish he had a different title" are not ambiguous statements. Is the title, Evolution's Magnum Opus: Innocence on Trial - as bad as these two reviewers say? Maybe it is. It is heady - no doubt. I thought after reading the book, it would make sense to readers - but maybe that is the point they are making. You shouldn't have to read it to make sense of it. Honest feedback of the name please/ I can take it - and its too late anyway, lol.
