So do what I did - put it on the back cover of the next book, along with three other reviews saying it's brilliant etc. so that the hostile reviewer looks like an idiot (especially if he is). See e.g. the third review (for Diana WP) here:

"...frequently hysterical, often rivalling Steve Jackson Games' TOON for sheer insanity." - Chris Halliday, Amazon
"...cocks a scurrilously satirical snook at the establishment, invariably to highly amusing effect." - Matthew Pook, Pyramid Magazine
"...Some people may love this type of thing but I found it offensive. ... A murderous queen is the closest we get to a realistic situation ... this warped fantasy is not this devotee's cup of tea...." - James Becker, Amazon
"If you want quotes, Nyrond Enterprises can wholesale them at a very reasonable rate." - Soren Nyrond, Livejournal

Ha, that's pretty good.

I get nervous about the idea of mentioning peoples' reviews even when they say good stuff. There was that whole deal going around about reviews being copyrighted material or something. I guess I got it in my head that they couldn't even be quoted without causing trouble, much less added to the back of the book.
