Tip
Reviews are important to a book's success but not as
essential as many authors are led to believe. In The
Frugal Book Promoter, Carolyn Howard-Johnson suggests
pursuing feature stories, interviews and awards as means of
letting readers know about you.

My favorite review on Amazon:
The Perfect Book (5 stars)
By Kristin M. Chapman "-kc-" (Washington, D.C.)
Annette Fix's debut novel, "The Break-Up Diet: a Memoir," is a wonderfully
funny and witty commentary on life, love and starting over. Fix begins her
memoir with a devastating breakup with Kevin, and continues with inevitable
journey of rebuilding after such a traumatic loss. As the book progresses,
Annette regains her confidence, always meeting the challenges of being a
single mother head on. "Break-Up Diet" is well written, full of great
one-liners, and is a very quick read. The recipes included in the book are a
nice touch of anecdotal humor, expressing the very essence of what one goes
through in times like these. More than once I found myself laughing out loud
with Annette's snappy writing style, such as the incident with the boxes in
the garage or the entry when Annette is solicited online. The whole book is
kept in check when needed; her concern for her son is paramount, and never
once did the book deviate from the purpose of the book, which is to show
healing and the rebirth of hope. "Break-Up Diet" tells the story of breakups
and life; a transitional account of the life and death of relationships, and
is a huge asset to my personal library. I would highly recommend it to
anyone, and only hope that there will be more novels in the future of a
similar vein.
