    <about><![CDATA[My apologies to anyone who's read my reviews thinking they'd be, well, review-like. :)  I only spend time cleaning up the ones I do for the GUD Magazine website.  The rest are quick response, more interesting probably to people who've also read the books than helpful to those who haven't.

It's good satire; the right balance of funny and serious.
