Review revisions

Aspiring author and book reviewer Marilyn Puett had asked, What qualms should an author have about pulling quotes out-even ifthey are out of context. Such as "I loved it when the book was finally over" becomes "I loved it."

As a blatant own horn tooter, no I have no qualms about pulling quotes apart at all. My goal is to present my work in the best light I can and even when a review is positive/ recommended, the reviewer doesn't always have good enough writing skills to make the review usable. On the other hand, sometimes it's a matter of space [like for an ad] or a matter of focus. This is the review I got from Alane Coppinger of Romance Junkies:

I absolutely loved this story. I worried through Rei's health scare and got angry when the cliche about no good deed going unpunished proved all too true for Chris. And you know what? I think everyone needs a friend like PJ. She is Rei's staunchest supporter and knows just when she needs sympathy, a little push or some friendly advice. Chris and Rei both learned something about forgiveness, trust, and second chances. Mia Zachary not only wrote a hot story with an appealing plot and all-too-human characters, she also included serious undertones that will give readers plenty to think about long after the last page has been read. I highly recommend this book!

This, however, is what I'll actully upload to my website:

Why? Because it's more concise and focused this way. I haven't changed any of Alane's words or really taken them that much out of context. I would never do what Marilyn showed in her example because to me, that's lying.

Or is it marketing/ spin doctoring? Writers, what's your opinion?
Readers, do reviews have any influence on which books you choose to buy?
