Case of the Trashies

I know it's tacky and unprofessional to publicly quibble with reviews, but I love this one-starrer from a GoodReads user so much that I can't resist.  (It's for the new book that's not out yet.)

Trashy book right from the first page. Contains language and sexual references. Sounded like a good idea for a book, but I couldn't get past the trash!

Isn't it so OFFENSIVE when books contain language?  I know, right?!

Regarding A Handmaid's Tale, the same reviewer wrote: "Vulgar, degrading, a waste of time. Didn't finish it. (ONE STAR)"  Does this mean that I'm on par with Margaret Atwood?

It totally does. Especially as you both use language. Stop it already!
