I don't even need to read OOTD now, because he gave away everything at the event. He also told us the plot of several other upcoming books, end spoilers, character twists, who is the good guy/bad guy, and how he's going to correct all the mistakes the Harry Potter series made, by writing a new version.<br /><br />Oy. <br /><br />Perhaps the reviewer is just taking a cue from Mr. Weber's own style? Whatever it is, I just know that, if I want to keep reading his books, I should NEVER go to another D. Weber signing event again.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341753924567212850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-52671512089237942332010-10-14T11:39:01.527-05:002010-10-14T11:39:01.527-05:00That 'review' would fit right in on SFRevu...That 'review' would fit right in on SFRevu.Aidan Moherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680602160285884082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-18194029629320090572010-10-14T11:23:53.539-05:002010-10-14T11:23:53.539-05:00Truth be told, I've done worse when I still wr...Truth be told, I've done worse when I still wrote for BSC :PValashainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766127527509268224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-37876289123789600072010-10-14T10:55:13.367-05:002010-10-14T10:55:13.367-05:00@Sarah - I have no problem with Tor mentioning it ...@Sarah - I have no problem with Tor mentioning it really.<br /><br />@everythingisnice - It doesn't surprise me, thats why I'm tired of it and wanted to call attention to it.<br /><br />@Harry Markov - I don't fault BSC for monetizing their site, I fault them for calling this a review<br /><br />@Niall - You're next, scotty...<br /><br />@Neth - I'm not going to make a point of it, I just started reading the review and got 75% of the way through before I saw anything that transcended a third grade book review.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546050685623369173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-13322084988876191132010-10-14T09:31:10.591-05:002010-10-14T09:31:10.591-05:00I'm not sure that I'm with this recent see...I'm not sure that I'm with this recent seeming trend of reviewing reviews, but anyway...<br /><br />Once upon a time I was a reviewer for BSC (mostly back when it was still FantasyBookSpot), I basically cut my involvment because I didn't like the direction it was going in.

Your colour coding agenda may yet terrify me into being a better critic; good lessons to be reminded of and there are plenty of bloggers, naming no names, who could do with several highlighters up their asses in that regard.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713791516631476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-14001183257730446092010-10-14T03:38:49.092-05:002010-10-14T03:38:49.092-05:00What I am suprised with and sad about is that it&#...What I am suprised with and sad about is that it's exactly these reviews that get attention and the web hits, when others that have way better content are overlooked, criminally at that. It's okay for me that the BSCrew is in it for the money, since anyrhing can be a business, but at least the quality of their content could have been better.Harry Markovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140305922494369576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-62008220037226079862010-10-14T00:59:43.049-05:002010-10-14T00:59:43.049-05:00I'm not sure why this surprised you since the ...I'm not sure why this surprised you since the majority of online reviews follow this format.
