a different sort of book review
Feb. 22nd, 2008 04:55 pmClick on the link to read a librarian's sarcastic take on the 'new blockbuster' from James Patterson. I love the humour!
I hate the new blockbuster term btw. It's guarenteed to turn me off either purchasing or reading most books that are launched that way. I also roll my eyes at books that are reviewed on every breakfast show on the television, even though all and sundry come straight in and request them.
Being reviewed on these shows is a testament to the authors/publishers ability to market the merchandise, not necessarily to provide well writen prose of any description.
