I do hear it and read it often though. Maybe it has to do with the pace of our society. People jump on whatever train is out there in their face all the time, so the new author who makes a big splash may ride that wave for several books, or the big names that are constantly reviewed are the ones people grab in the bookstores and libraries.<BR/>It takes time to browse the book aisles looking for something different-time many people don't want to take. Unfortunately, I suspect that's true of the reviewers for the major publications as well. When faced with a huge pile fo new books, they chose to read and review the "big names" and give mere lipservice to many others, relying on the publishers info. <BR/>Caryncarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761365713102858135noreply@blogger.com
