Should anyone be allowed to review books?

7 Dec 2005

SFSignal have had a rather entertaining run in with an author whose story they have reviewed. The author in question, on her blog, says...

"But it still pisses me off when I see people who obviously cannot master anything beyond the simplest narratives being allowed to review books right out in public where anyone can stumble across this crap."

!

Perhaps she would like a global interweb SF reviewing test to be incorporated to ensure that any bloggers attempting to review are of sufficient "quality" to meet her requirements?

Question 1: Are you comfortable reading complicated, non-linear naratives.
etc..
