Not how you want a review of your book to end

This NY Times book review (via) is pretty brutal. Not liking a book is fine, negative reviews happen, but do you really have to say this?

Chesa Boudin seems like a genial guy with a bright future stretching far ahead of him. If “Gringo” is any indication, that future should not include committing sentences to paper with the intention of distributing them widely.

Yikes. Book was so bad the guy shouldn’t even write anymore? Sounds like the Gigli of books or something, almost makes me want to read it just to see for myself.
