Just read ozfille's in-depth review of Blood Canticle.
A badly-written book is one thing-- the author delivering sneering rants to her readers via a fictional character is quite another. It reduces literature to nothing more than a forum for her self-important rants. The fans don't like your last book? Deal with it. Either change your writing style; listen; or carry on regardless. Don't deliver insulting rants and haughty proclamations that your audience is too stupid to 'understand' your work.
Silly bloody woman.
Gawd!

I can't stand her as a person. lol She's boring and washed out.
*gasp* Watch, I'll get sued for that.

Re: Oi
Date: 2003-11-11 07:46 am (UTC)Every time I so much as glance at them, I picture her crazy rants, her self-insertion (sounds rude) into the stories, and I actively hate them. I don't want to hate the first three chronicles...they is myyy preciousss...so must take time out to work up little separation barrier in mind between old/new Lestat.
Damned woman. *Boot*

Date: 2003-11-11 02:29 pm (UTC)I remember a post on the boards a few months back with a preview of the book and some people thought it was a parody, it was so horrible, with Lestat ranting on about his fans and how they hated Memnoch. WTF? I mean, really. Anne. Get a grip.
Argh!
BTW, have you read Palahniuk's latest? Diary or something, I think it's called. I keep meaning to and then never getting to a bookstore and/or library.
