My Worst Review, Ever + Star Trek, Again
On our last blog, we were talking Star Trek. And because of the time warp/time travel factor, we still are. That's cause I decided to compare Star Trek, the original motion picture, with the new Star Trek movie. For research purposes.

Here's the Original, in it's original form. And the Original in hyper-speed mode . . .


My conclusion. The new Star Trek movie is better . . .


Why? Because the costumes are nicer and don't look as polyesterish as the original ones. There are other reasons, too, but you'll have to guess them.

Speaking of Star Trek, here's something really cool. One of my blog buddies, Hilde Garcia, is an alien . . . a TV Star Trek alien!!! Here are some shots from her website where she's undergoing her transformation as an Enterprise alien . . .

And now for something traumatic. At least it was for me. Author Alexa Young has this hysterical/heartwrenching blog where she asks authors to talk about their WORST REVIEW EVER. The most recent victim? Me.

Here's a sample of a review I received for MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS . . .

“this book has perhaps crossed a line. maybe a book as shallow has been invented, you havent read it, cause it doesnt exist. it was as sluggish and definetly not straight. full of stereo types, this book fades into dust”

When and where did this review appear?
This appeared on Amazon.com on September 3, 2003. It’s still there. I know. I checked.

How did you happen upon the review?
It was my debut novel and I was logging into Amazon.com every five minutes waiting to see if anyone would post a review.

How did you feel immediately after reading/watching the review?
I wanted to throw up. This was my very first review . . . ever, and I was convinced it was the beginning of the end of my writing career.

To read the whole sad, pitiful interview, CLICK HERE. You can even VOTE on how awful the review and/or the author is. Sigh.

So, to counterbalance my worst review ever, here's my best review ever.

Plus, some good news . . . ABSOLUTELY MAYBE has been named a YALSA Teens Top Ten Nominee. Wheeeeeeeee!!!!
