Date: 17 October 2007 01:03 pm (UTC)All I'll say is that as a writer (since he decided to throw that phrase around in a response to Elio) he should recognize the enormous power of word choice, and not claim that he didn't intend to be inflammatory and derogatory with terms like "Chick lit" and "girly". I'm still not even sure what he meant by that, after reading the review and all the responses. Was it sappy? Melodramatic? Trite? Contrived? Lacking in developed characters? Printed on pink paper in a flowery font? Sporting a provocative tattoo near the base of the spine? Lacking in gore? Unrealistic in representing relative physical strengths of petite young women versus big, brawny men?
