Met the author who told me to read her book. Considered it, however after meeting her I decided to decline. The author -- was a rude, blood-shot-eyed, crazy haired, Karen, with a capital K.
I have never met a person who was more rude (without provoking) or anyone so absolutely supercilious!
She gives little regard to Service Industry people. If you're a waiter, cashier, service provider- she will walk all over you as tho she's a queen and you're her "lacky"; as I observed her screaming at a girl and demanding FREE stuff, and refunds!!
If her personality is anything to offer, I'd rather read Emily Dickinson - who I admire, instead of anything by- Ursula from the Little Mermaid! If you think the review is harsh, wait till you meet the author... maybe treat people like humans and your book will sell more
