Even for Twitter, this was shocking.
An author was invited to a book club to talk about her new novel. At the meeting, one of the members spoke up to note how vehemently she had disliked the book.
"When invited to a book club I don't expect only positive feedback," the author tweeted, "but hearing 'I hated your book. HATED it. It was full of stupid characters doing stupid things. I only read it for the meeting,' felt a little harsh."
