    My book had four reviews, three were very well written and excellent, one was a hurtful experience, she had not even read the first chapter, missed the whole idea, at the end just put a few good words in just to recapture some of it. I wished to have had a chance talk to her personally , not to criticize, but to ask which part did she not understand, it was written in clear English.

    Caglar, that is not the situation at all. Some chose to self-publish to speed up the speed-to market or to have more control over their book (just to name a few reasons) Best wishes on your book.
