Full stop

There are some book reviews that communicate all I need to know in a single sentence. SciFi Weekly is one of the better sources for science fiction reviews, and I saw a book called Scar Night got an A-. I got as far as the first third of the first sentence "This debut novel from a writer whose previous notoriety stems from his contributions to the video game Grand Theft Auto inaugurates..."

Thanks, but no thanks.

The same site has a review of a new movie based on Peter Suskind's Perfume. Since that book is almost entirely about smell and a madman obsessed with it, it is very hard to imagine a movie based upon it. I suppose they could bring in Smell-o-Vision or Odorama.

They can actually be harsh, but yeah you have to be at least a little bit wary. Or a lot.
