A Call To The Reviewers On My Friends List

nellherself is in a quandary: Mary Gaitskill has written a satire on Ayn Rand "Two Girls, Fat and Thin" and it is reported to be very funny indeed. Of course, so was Running With Scissors, quite possibly one of the stupidest books ever written. So to read it or not..... Any thoughts?

Reminder: GuysLitWire Book Fair for Boys ends TONIGHT!

... books to the attention of teenage boys. We had read the data on boys reading less, heard stories from all over the internet of boys saying they just couldn't find good books to read and as reviewers many of us had ample evidence that more books are published aimed at teenage girls rather than boys. Our goal was to look both at new books and old and write about books we thought boys might like but...

... modern issues became a catch-all phrase for books about shopping and looking for the right man and pink covers with legs. And now, like "bodice-rippers," it's become an easy catch-all term for columnists/reviewers who've never so much as picked up an example of the genre to use to denigrate women-centric books that they don't like.

Book Review

Lo and behold, someone got around to reviewing "The Enchanted Faerie"! What I like about good reviewers of anthologies is when they give a short reviewlet of each story.

... left, and Ianto has taken Jack home to recover: The coat looked terrible--dirty and dull, frayed at cuffs and collar. It felt old and tired, like a small animal waiting for death. One of the reviewers for this fic said it best, I think, in trying to explain why Jack has the same coat for so long: "A superhero's uniform absorbs his powers."

(I see that one of the amazon reviewers hated the y/z thing too. I understand Weber's probably trying to show language evolution but really, it's just frakking annoying.) Also unrelated, can I just say I am really exited about the new Trek ...

Dear reviewers of my Twilight/Helsing crossover, I realize that, for die-hard Edward/Bella fans, having them broken up and having Edward fall for Integra might be upsetting. Your flame, askng me if I am jealous of fictional characters, will not sway me. When I get seven reviews, all anonymous, all in broken English, all with different names and no email address, all asking for an update, all ...

... forward (until after I see it) I will not be reading more any articles written about the New Star Trek movie. There are those journalists who think nothing of giving away major plot points and mainstream reviewers who like to dis anything Star Trek. Then there are those nitpickers who feel that anything new or 'not canon' is bad. I will form my own opinions, thank you. I'm open-minded like ...
