Book Review: What is this????
Summary: 5 Stars

Unfortunately, however, I thought this section was for readers to offer feedback on a particular book. I was apparently mistaken. One reviewer, Down South, is particularly puzzling. S/he has written 3 "reviews." One makes no sense whatsoever, what is this craziness about Satchel? and prostitutes? Please. Is that a pathetic attempt at humor? If so, thank goodness it is not Down South (DS) who is attempting to produce a comic.

Why does it take DS three attempts to offer a legtimate opinion about BLUEPRINT? All are rather odd and senseless. The last of the 3 is particularly ugly.

Why does DS question another reviewer's credentials? She does not appear to be trying to use her status as a doctor as a means of elevating her opinion. It is merely part of her name. Why is DS so bothered? The good doctor is not even writing about his review. Yet, he is obviously offended.

Possibly, DS deplores "Get Bucky" so much that s/he feels compelled to attack the doctor (note: not the comic strip) b/c she gives the strip a glowing review. If so, that falls into the "get a life" file--we all have opinions. We shouldn't be viciously attacked, personally, for offering them.

Maybe DS has a problem with the doctor, herself. Since I doubt DS knows Dr. Hayes personally, perhaps he is bothered that a woman is a doctor, and writes a coherent, and all-around better review, in one attempt, than DS does in 3 tries.

Another possibility is that perhaps a cat beat him/her up, in childhood, and stole his/her lunch money. If so, and DS is still harbouring a grudge, please, for goodness sakes, GET HELP!

Perhaps DS has problems with women, esp. women who are smarter, better educated and more talented (at least if the 3 reviews are any indication of DS the person) than s/he. Should the good doctor have not gone to school, DS? Should she "know her place?" Did a WOMAN beat you up on the playground and take your money? Whatever. Get help, DS.

Then, there is another "reviewer" who rather likes the comic strip, but takes on the grammar issue raised by Dr. Hayes. By the way, the doctor is correct. If Corinth had meant the sentence as instructive, it was unclear. Why is grammar so important to this "reviewer?" And what does that title "please type your password again" mean??? Very odd. Very odd, indeed.

Dr. Hayes, I'm sorry for the unwarranted personal attacks. Too bad that it takes all kinds to make up our world. The emperor who had no clothes paraded proudly down the street, until one person spoke up and said, "you have no clothes." Then, he was embarrassed and angry. Could that be the problem with these 2 reviewers? Ignorance is bliss, until someone points out your ignorance? Who knows?

All I can say is that the sort of irrelevant ugliness offered up by these two "reviewers" does not serve the purpose of this section. Plus, it harms the integrity of the process. I know I, now, am less inclined to read reviews, or write one. In fact, I'm less likely to visit the Amazon.com website. This behavior leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
