A Goodreads user asked Nenia Campbell:

Your reviews amuse me greatly. I love how gritty and honest they are. I don't see enough people reading these over-hyped books as critically as I do. It's refreshing to find someone who doesn't cling to SJM's books for dear life. Do you ever get any really angry comments on your reviews? If so, how do you deal with them?

Nenia Campbell Thank you so much! Your comment made my day and I *might* have showed it off to my family. :'D I think it's really important to be honest about how I feel because I know that some people use me as a resource for whether or not to buy a book, and I don't want to let anyone down by failing to express my thoughts as accurately as possible. I do get angry comments- quite often- and I will either respond or delete and block depending on the nature of the comment and what I think the intention of the person who wrote it was. It can be frustrating, but I think people sometimes forget that there's a person on the other side of each comment, and whether they're trying to troll me or (intentionally or not) misreading my intentions, at the end of the day, all I can really do is be honest and positive- in attitude, if not in my reviews. :)
