We admit to a preference for positive reviews of our books over negative ones, but here is one negative review that’s well worth a gander. It’s an astonishing 5,141-word diatribe on D. Scott Rogo’s The Haunted Universe. The review, written by Laura Knight-Jadczyk, appears on the Amazon page for Rogo’s book. Anyone who cares to write that much about one of our books earns the right not to like it in our opinion. But it’s not all bad news by any means. Knight-Jadczyk begins by citing several statements by Rogo that she has “discovered” herself. Elsewhere she “agrees” with Rogo and admits he “does a pretty good job” here and there. What really seems to set her off, however, is Rogo’s treatment of the “Lethbridge experience,” referring to Tom Lethbridge, the director of excavations for the Cambridge Antiquarian Society who had no interest in psychical research until after he retired. She states that “Rogo has manipulated the facts and avoided valuable data that lead to other explanations for many of the things dismissed or misinterpreted by Rogo.” This criticism goes on for half of the stunningly long review, before she finally awards Rogo “two stars for trying.” One person who provides a blistering comment of her review on Amazon states that the reviewer manages to make Rogo sound like “a perfectly reasonable writer…” and also says: “I wanted to know more about [the review’s] author and wasn’t dissapointed when I found her blog and related websites.” Indeed, it seems to us that Knight-Jadczyk has several axes to grind and is not exactly well loved in the blogosphere. We’ll just leave it at that and step out of the way…
