PRO reviews?

[easol.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm a bit curious -- what kind of professional reviews does LKH get? As in, from newspapers, genre mags, zines?

I know amazon (which often doesn't mirror the pro tastes) is basically filled with A) snarkers, B) troos, and C) people who consider this literary baloney on white bread, and read it because they aren't too demanding.

So has anyone seen professional reviews for LKH's books, and do they tend to be positive, "hateful" or sort of middle-of-the-road? (Particularly in St. Louis?)

(PS, on a slightly OT note, the ghastly "Talia Gryphon" is coming out with a sequel to that ghastly book)

Look at earlier books and compare the quotes on them. I think her earlier reviews are getting recycled. I have seen some reviews on the Internet about LKH. There was one review of the Harlequin that made me feel like LKH must be wincing someplace as the reviewer gave her a figurative punch to the gut. I can't remember where I saw it, but I'm sure if you did a search for the Harlequin and reviews you'd probably find it. The review was an SF review blog, I think.

I am a member at the big George R. R. Martin discussion board. There are a lot of people there who keep literary review blogs and websites. Most of them...are NOT complementary about Hamilton's writing.
