But one bad review is not the end of a launch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The worst response is panic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="do-not-argue"&gt;Do Not Argue&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do not attack the reviewer. Do not ask friends to downvote the review. Do not try to bury it with rushed reviews from people who have not read the book.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That kind of reaction can make the listing look worse, not better.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
