Slashdot Mirror

Actually, I trashed Will Iverson's book on Jakarta Commons and I have the hate mail from the author to prove it!

Actually, the reason that most of my reviews are positive is that I get a very large amount of choice over what I review. When the publisher sends me a copy of their catalog and asks what looks interesting, you can bet that I'm going to pick something that I think I'll like. I'm only human.

That said, I actually did not want to review the Mongrel eBook, but after more than a little persuasion (but no money) from the publicist I did it as a favour.

If you take a look at the reviews Simon has done at http://techbook.info/ you will see there isn't a negative review among them. So take whatever you read with a grain of salt. This is probably why the publishers keep bugging him to review their books.
