Today's stop on the tour takes us to Jen's blog at www.jenheadjen.blogspot.com. To read her full review, please check out her blog.
Here are a couple of my favorite lines.
#1- The first line... "Wow! What a book I have to share today!" Wow! Thank you Jen for the intro.
#2- "Paul, Emily, and soon Jimmy, end up being involved in one of the most twisted and exciting action stories I've ever read." Very Cool! Thanks.
#3- "This book is full of surprises, great humor, and suspense."
#4- "It is a great read for men and women alike."
#5- "Great work on this one Steve! I'll be looking forward to future releases! 5 stars!"
I really appreciate the kind words Jen shared with her bloggers. I do have to admit I was surprised by one line however. "I should warn the sensitive reader. If this were a movie, it would likely get a "PG13" rating, if not an "R" for some violent scenes."
Normally, I would never disagree with a reviewer, and I understand that ratings can be highly subjective. I personally believe Defensive Tactics is a PG book, not PG-13 or R. Yes, there is a little violence, but mostly implied. There is no language, sex or innuendo. I think it is a clean read, and I would feel comfortable with my young teenager reading it.
I truly appreciate Jen and her review. Check out her blog.
Steve, having read and reviewed the book, I would give it a PG rating. There is nothing, in my humble opinion, that would give it a higher rating than that.
ReplyDeleteI just told James about the reviewer's recommended rating and his response was "Are you kidding?" He read Defensive Tactics and enjoyed it.
Your book doesn't even come close to a PG13 rating, let alone R. A book scene can't be compared to watching it on video. That's comparing apples to pomegranates.
