Ever received a review from someone regarding your work that was not just unflattering, but unabashedly hateful and abusive? If you are a writer, the answer to this question can only be yes.

So, with this in mind, here’s a HuffPost feature I stumbled upon this weekend featuring what is most likely a very modest selection of truly mean book reviews.
