Sooo, are you suggesting his ghost writer aught to be writing his blog as well? What will FSJ do then?

And, please, don't feel bad, give CNET another week or two and they'll turn a 180: [valleywag.com]

Dude, my name's on page one of that "unrecommended holiday gifts" gallery! And really, I totally want to know what y'all have been smoking. I had such high hopes for "Options" only to find that the whole thing was totally watered down and the boardroom scenes were such a yawn, and every time somebody compares it to "Bonfire of the Vanities" I think Tom Wolfe dies a little bit.

Cheers!

]]> <![CDATA[Local haters pile on Fake Steve]]> Better than the parody blog spew, but then that's not saying much. However I rather enjoyed it (for it's own sake), and the review spite does seem to spring from a jealous place, but "narrow potential audience indeed" is ever so apt -- too insidery and full-of-itself bluster covering a full-of-itself socipathy persona, it gives you a serious ping-pong headache, going on and on like a 80s answering machine recording loop, forever and ever. Great the first paragraph, good the first page, 247 pages of lukewarm monologues later -- pure torture (but wait here while I go get 3 other people to agree with me).

Death also comes in threes.
