So I Guess he Didn't like it

We have to admit it is weird to so one's own name and work written about in this way:
Even at the height of the 1980s boom, there were still were a lot more books about stopping World War III than fighting it. And frankly, to me it’s a lot more fun to see the different, the strange, and the classic-but-unread. If I have to choose between either:

zigzagging between feminist superpower stories, basketball mysteries, conventional thrillers, and classic vigilante adventure stories (all of which I’ve reviewed here), with World War III novels when I feel like it…
Reading the entire collected works of William Stroock for the sake of reading something concerning World War III.

I’m definitely going with Option 1.
He reviewed Arctic Storm here.

Don't be fooled. Everytime we read a bad review, we die inside a little bit. But we've always been the sensative type.

Until recently we looked back upon Arctic Storm unfavorbly ourselves, like the first bad season of a long running TV show, say Star Trek: The Next Generation. It took a while to work through the kinks and get comfortable. Each book in the World War 1990 series is a bit better than the last.

I did email the guy not long ago but never heard back.

Oh well, there's no such thing as a bad review, and far more reviewers and readers like the series than don't, all the way to the bank.
