I compare and track reviews and am always amused at the
number of books that
get a starred review (often assigned in an arbitrary process
anyhow) or a
glowing review in one review source and get trashed in
another.
I'm not picking on LJ, but I *was* amused to see that they
just (4/15/99)
reviewed Point of Origin as the 7/99 release by Patricia
Cornwell. It will
be released in paper in 8/99 and Black Notice will be
released in hardcover
in 7/99. Not that I'm waiting for any reviews to order Black
Notice or the
new Thomas Harris . . . it won't matter to my library users
if both get
trashed in reviews.
