A Must Read for everyone who likes to review
A short novella , 17 pages in length , this book starts to deal with negative reviews and their repercussions .
We read the book from the perspective of Li , as she starts writing her final blog post , addressing the fallout of her last blog post , which was a one star review that led to the reviewed author committing suicide .
As a short story , the book has an intriguing plot with a finale that I didn't see coming , but where this book really works in , is it's commentary on the subjecting nature of readers , and how one should never be afraid of writing a truthful review, but at the same time make sure that they are being sincere about a person's work and not just trying to put said person down .
As I stated before , as per me , this should be a mandatory read for all reviewers , it's even available for free on the author's website and on Amazon , so get your copy , spend about half an hour and read this beautiful work . And hopefully you will like it

A very short read (under 15 minutes) but interesting and very thought provoking nonetheless

This story ... wow. If you are a blogger, a dark horror fan or a writer, this will get you right where you live. This is a very creative way to do it also.

This is such a short story, and yet it tells a full and complete story and packs a wallop. An entertaining and fun little break from reading full novels. It was good enough that I will look into reading something else by this author.

The power of a review...
I thought that this story was going to be something completely different - and I was looking forward to reading it. But this was awesomely different. I look forward to reading more work by this author.

This short story packs quite the punch in its short 17 pages! It is also currently free on Amazon and serves as a thank you from the author The Behrg to book bloggers and book reviewers. I know my blog is not a huge one, but my reviews get seen and what happens if you don’t like a book? What if the author sees your lower starred review even though you did not tag them on social media? What if they take your review the wrong way or they take it personally? In our world where we are all connected through various social media, you really can’t get away from seeing something directed towards you. This is what Li discovers with her one star review of an author’s latest novel.
This is definitely a horror story that goes in an unexpected direction. I did enjoy this short story and it is definitely not a one star review! I have no fear of the author’s reaction to my review of his short story.
This short story that I read within 30 minutes; I have read it twice now. It is a part of The Behrg’s upcoming short story collection The Passengers You Cannot See. I enjoy short stories and have enjoyed One Star and also Happiness is a Commodity (my review is here) so I am looking forward to this upcoming collection. I even downloaded Stillborn, another of The Behrg’s short stories to read as it was free on Amazon. That one looks to tackle a difficult subject that I hope to read relatively soon.
One Star is recommended, and if you are a book blogger/ book reviewer, I say definitely read it!!

Despite its short length, this was a surprisingly interesting and well-written story. I'm curious to check out the author's other works.
