Hmmm, seems strange to me that you both would independently come to that conclusion. Joker Send a noteboard - 17/09/2009 08:10:11 PM
It'd be one thing if it were a well-written, well-argued negative review of the book, but that review was mostly summary and very little analysis of what made it a poor novel.


It's not supposed to be a scholarly article.

Just sayin'.


Is there some secret board where fans of this novel meet to discuss how best to refute negative reviews? IS ROBERT STANEK INVOLVED???

It's a newspaper review... it's supposed to summarize and maybe analyze a little. - 17/09/2009 02:07:37 AM 467 Views
