Now that I write, I only share reviews for books I absolutely love. I'm always honest, but now I'm silent unless I have something good to say. <br /><br />I know there's a place for critical reviews, and I know we need them, but I just can't do it anymore.

Art is SO subjective that it's imperative to remain one's own biggest cheerleader.
