He seems to feel there is an inference that he's doing this for the money, that the comments made here do not constitute a fair review, and there is an <i>ad hominem</i> element.<br /><br />To respond: (1) There was no intended implication about monetary gain, simply an observation that the first book has apparently sold well, as evidenced by Mr Fransson's own publicity material.<br /><br />(2) Neither this posting nor an earlier one was intended as a review. When I have written reviews, they have been clearly identified as such. I referred to the first posting as a "preliminary mention."<br /><br />(3) As for <i>ad hominem</i>, the impressions here are quite genuine based solely on Mr Fransson's writing style and content. We reveal a good deal about ourselves in print, both he and I included, and readers can make their own judgement call.Gavin Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965552923012880262noreply@blogger.com
