Short comings of the author can affect the review of the author's book. This isn't poetry. It's like the creditability of a witness can affect his/her testimony.
I worked on a project that the author created. Without projects like that I would not be employed. A team of programmers (craftsmen or not) made it architecturally sound. I truly hope that not all the projects the author coded was like the one I worked on. I never meet him but his reputation perceives him - Talks the talk but no walk.
In the context to the project I worked on, the author has no creditability and can/will suffer from personal attacks. The lack of creditability will be fuel for the downfall of the book.
