| | | | Your right, you are repeating something thats been discussed to death. I did the same thing before I discovered the nifty search button.
Regardless I think I speak for everyone when I say we all hated it.

| | | | "Hated" ?
You'd think someone had issued a bloody fatwa against the thing.
It wasn't that bad. So what if it's not Pullitzer Prize material? I was probably one of the first people here to criticize the book, but I don't think it deserves to be hated. It's underwhelming, that's all.
If this is the attitude of most of the people here, that Jinx's book (and Jinx themselves perhaps) are worthy of contempt and hatred, then remind me never to let anyone here know when/if I ever publish an urbex book. Luckily, I don't think most people would be happy with the way you're speaking for them, El Gordo. At least, that's my hope.

...hated?

|  | | | Gordo, who died and made you the Roger Ebert of UE books? Oh, wait...Roger Ebert did...Like Kowalski said, I think "hated" is a bit extreme for use in a book review. Jews hate Palestinians, the KKK hates everyone, Neohates Agent Smith (but so does everyone on the forum....just kidding...it was just too easy), well you get the idea that the word is way to forceful for a freaking book review. Besides I think most of us haven't even read it yet. The majority of the small minority of those of us that read it (not me, I didn't read it) seemed to think it was not grand. So what? Everyone seems to want to crucify Jinx for some strange reason. I dont understand it.

| | | | I think the book is ok. For there not being to many UE books out, its good. A little drastic and over done though. The dudes take it too serious
