It's not a fair way of reviewing someone else's fiction.

When my first book was published (The Termination Node), 90% of people I encountered ASSUMED that the main character was ME. Not so. Then I wrote three YA adventure sff books, and the publisher decided that my theme was that kids can survive the tactics of bullies at school. I really didn't have that in mind at all when I wrote the books - the stories were meant to be entertaining, helpful for kids who are in single parent households, not very well off, shy but smart. Sure, the books featured a bully and his pals, but in my mind, the bullying wasn't the main aspect of the novels at all.
