dr_pretentiousAs bad reviews go, it could have been worse. "Cleverly conceived and executed--yet strangely unaffecting," with a villain evocative of Jack Nicholson...okay. Considering that she'd have liked to see more Nicholsonesque fisticuffs, I wonder if this wasn't just the wrong book for her. Or maybe I haven't improved my characterization as much since the first draft of the Big Book as I thought I had. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
radiotelescope's comment on that long-ago first draft was, "I'd like all the characters to be about 15% more vivid," and he was absolutely right.
I'm still hoping someone among the dozens of reviewers I sent copies to will give me something I can put on a book jacket. Come 2009, I'm going to need some blurbs from the two e-books to sell the print volume.
