REAL LIFE NEWS: HOW NOT TO RESPOND TO A BAD REVIEW

by Hazed

If you review books and other products you have bought on Amazon, you might want to think carefully before slating something you don’t like – because some people do not take kindly to bad reviews.

A teenager who left a bad review of somebody’s book was hunted down and brutally attacked last year.

Paige Rolland, an 18 year old from Scotland, was smashed over the head with a wine bottle by author Richard Brittain. He had tracked her down using social media, and then travelled 500 miles to the supermarket where she worked to confront her about her review of his book.

She was rushed to hospital, where she was treated for a head injury. She said after the attack, “I find it weird and creepy he tracked me down and travelled to Scotland to assault me. But then his book was about a woman he was stalking for years. The fact that he assaulted me and didn’t say a word is horrifying.”

Police used cellphone data to trace Brittain to his home where he was arrested. He also admitted stalking a university classmate. What a charmer!

He is remanded in custody awaiting sentence from Glasgow Sheriff Court.
