In Reply to: PM review on Amazon - what a splendid review! posted by Andrew Craig-Bennett on February 27, 2010 at 18:37:01:
This review does exactly that; the writer makes a very plausible case for something that I had not considered.
Yes. But reading that review, I didn't think it was very plausible. In fact, as I said, I thought it was a bit of a joke, a satire on reviews and quite a good one.
But I'm no reviewer, nor do I have any formal grounding in psychology or literature, and I approach AR's books plonkingly according to whether or not I enjoy them and AR himself as a working author who needed to make a living, and did so very well indeed, both in the quality of the books and in the results for him. Hard to beat that.
But that review stirred up some discussion. All to the good.
