                    [Summary] => No one writes book reviews anymore because critics are too busy watching cable TV or surfing the Internet; no one reads CD reviews anymore because people would rather hear the CD itself and pass judgment without prior influence or suasion. The world was still round when last we looked, and the candles burned past the witching hour to guide the midnight souls home during the recent long and extended weekend.

That seems to be especially true for love stories, which are the most commonly and yet also often the most badly written, with the same old characters going through the same old motions and saying the same old things.
