While I have several names that are automatic buys, there are also names that have been dropped from my list because IMO they started phoning it in. Aside from being disappointed at losing a guaranteed good read, it also angers me. A writer shouldn't betray fan loyalty by putting out less than their best.McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437136297944260051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-37533531394722486252007-08-14T09:12:00.000-04:002007-08-14T09:12:00.000-04:00Great review BCB.The book is really that good.And ...Great review BCB.<BR/>The book is really that good.<BR/>And we are looking forward to reading yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-9176675538905628952007-08-14T08:06:00.000-04:002007-08-14T08:06:00.000-04:00You know, it's ironic that people are going to rea...You know, it's ironic that people are going to read this review and think, "Yeah, right, you're a CB, a fan, of course you're going to say nice things." <BR/><BR/>But I don't really think of myself as a fan of any particular writer, just a fan of good writing. And I do not, ever, promote bad writing.<BR/><BR/>The truth is that I was much harsher in evaluating this book and held Bob to a higher standard than I would most other writers. I know, not fair. But geez, he's been teaching over at that writing workshop for months now, telling us what to do and how to do it, how to write a better piece of fiction. <BR/><BR/>So I opened LOST GIRLS to the first page and thought, <I>Okay fine, buddy, I know you're smart, I know you're a good writer. Prove it. Show me how it's done. You'd better impress the hell out of me.</I> <BR/><BR/>He impressed the hell out of me. That's not an easy thing.BCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073904727232797021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-17364488883854287412007-08-13T20:28:00.000-04:002007-08-13T20:28:00.000-04:00Really really looking forward to this one.

Hopefully Amazon won't disappoint me.McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437136297944260051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34518678.post-14123171086109917162007-08-13T10:29:00.000-04:002007-08-13T10:29:00.000-04:00I love the thought of a new well-written book just...I love the thought of a new well-written book just waiting for me!<BR/><BR/>Off to the store now.The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.com
