It’s also presumptuous to speak for all the Westerberg fans out there and their online reading habits. And you may want to correct an earlier post – did you mean to write that Lindeen has a larger fanbase than Westerberg?

Not cool to give out personal info for public viewing, so if you want to ask a question – or better still, send B.B.Q. recipes – ask Jodi for my gmail address.

Seems to be more of a PW obsessed fan that will never like anything that his wife writes, out of jealousy.
And I’m not saying that all of the bad reviews are written by this same person, but the Westerberg fanbase is pretty small- we all read all of the sites and blogs, and have for many years. Anybody that pulls the chickenshit act of trashing someone by using different names to appear to be a crowd should probably change their writing style when doing so.

What name do you post under on CMI? I’ve never seen a jimdracula post there.

Didn’t hate it, just seemed kinda there to me. C ish in my book.
I’d love to see what a Paul book would read like.
I kind of imagine a very curt Mark Twain style for some reason lol.

Never would have guessed Lindeen would have disturbed/obsessed fans, so good for her, I guess…
I think you may be a tad touchy/paranoid regarding Lindeen though. One person is responsible for her negative reviews? Hmmm…sounds dubious at best. Maybe you’re too close to the writer to be objective, cuz I noticed when folks posted reviews here – fuck, I even posted I thought Pusher sucked -you seemed to take it personally. Very curious. I wouldn’t venture over to CMI if I were you. Not big fans of your favorite writer.

Checking around the web, you’ll find bad reviews of her book, but it turns out that many of them were written by the same person, an obviously disturbed/ obsessed woman who would go onto various fansites, blogs, and YouTube under different names just to trash Laurie and flood the web with bad reviews.
You could always tell it was the same person because she had an enormously annoying writing style that made Lindeen look like Bill Shakespeare, which was funny in itself.

Jim Walsh made me sing “I’m In Trouble” with him per his request. Killer!

She’s lucky to have you. What is it about her writing that moves mountains for ye? And does it really make you wonder who she’s talking about with that songwriter remark? Prolly Ben Folds Five, yo.

One of my favorite writers.

When she mentions “I know a male songwriter who always writes about “her” or “she” to hide the fact that he’s writing about himself”, makes you wonder who she’s talking about.
