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)

I have come to the conclusion that the LKH stories are simply suefics, written by suethors and the who cycle of bad writing gone to the public.
If this is correct, we will find that the general rules of the suethor come into play.
1) There is no stopping them.
2) Their motivation comes from their sock puppets (and in this case, their editors and publishers.)
3) No matter what you drop on them, throw at them or drop them into, a fic will soon appear shortly thereafter, and they will proceed like nothing ever changed.
Now that you know the three basic rules, does it go far enough to say the LKH doesn't need reviews and rewards to keep writing?
