PRO reviews?

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)

IIRC, from my various times on the LKH mailing list, Jim was working on The Dresden Files while praising LKH for the most part. I never thought of TDF as being a "response" to LKH or Anita Blake at all and I never got that vibe from Jim. That said, I was off and on that list so often that I might have missed something. The thing would implode into flames every five months or so and I hate being in the middle of flamewars when I don't have a dog in the fight.
