I rarely write a bad review, but ...

I am sorry to have to write a bad review on this novel, though I find sometimes negative criticism is good for a writer to improve, and I hope if the author reads this review that she is not hurt by what I have to say, but perhaps learns something for her next novel.

I was *sorely* disappointed in this novel. It had the makings of a great story, but alas, it was not. First of all, plot poorly constructed. Cerberus, Hades' 3 headed hound's job is to keep the living out of the Underworld and the dead in. He is not evil himself as he is made in this book. Also chacacter names and weapons are spelt wrong!! Xena's Horse is Argo (not Argos). Her weapon is called a Chakram (not a Charka, which is are points of light in and outside of the body). Roman and Greek mythology was mixed up. In Greece, the place of the Dead is called the Underworld and the God of the Dead is called Hades. In ancient Rome, the place of the Dead was called Hades, the God of the Dead, Pluto. Since Xena is set in ancinet Greece, the *God* should have been called Hades, not the place. And if Hades' hound is running amok, surely Hades (the God) would have something to say and do about it? He does not even get a *mention* in this poorly constructed novel.  Again a very big disappointment. It's a wonder it got any positive reviews at all.  Did they actually *read* the book!!?? The only two good things I'll say about this book were that I felt for the child seer character and the image of flames dancing was nice, but as for the rest of it, I really wonder how in Hades they made it past an agent and a publisher! Really! It angers me that there are many, many great writers out there, struggling to get wonderful writing out and stuff like this is printed. With a little more work, effort and research, the author could have really gone places with this book, but as it stands, I'd rather go to Hades.

YOU MAKE YOUR REVIEW PROCESS TOO DIFFICULT - I HAVE ATTEMPTED IN THE PAST TO OBLIGE YOU AND ALWAYS GET FRUSTRATED IN THE PROCESS.  IF THIS GOES THROUGH EASILY AND CORRECTLY WITHOUT FURTHER ADEIU, I WILL BE AMAZED.

Do not like to be forced to write a meaningless, lengthy review when a brief one will suffice! This is ridiculous!

I'm not going to fill this out and right stuff just to satisfy a word count...that is wrong to force people to say more than their feeling or care to express. I understand the good intentions...but too many words is expected. Not to mention, if I buy ten CD's, I don't have time to write an essay for 10 CDS.  I love the music, says it all!

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to review a product that will either get a one star or a five star.  In the spirit of thinking positive, I'm giving it a five star and hoping never to be proven right or wrong...

I would have loved to really review your book judiciously and give it the Appropriate star(s) it deserves; however, each time I review something I have purchased this website edits all my reviews - and sometimes denies their postings.  Too bad they ask for reviews but do not allow unbiased opinions.

This is a really good book, but I'm too busy to write a helpful review right now.

Some extra reviewing, or restating thought process, not too bad.

I really don't have the time to write a review.  There are lots of people out there on the web who write reviews professionally.

I don't know why I have to write a review! I'm just trying to give it the five stars it deservers

That is all I want to say, but these reviews require me to say more. I don't think more is necessary!

I ordered this exactly one year ago and it was used very lightly on a secondary computer until I built my gaming rig two months ago. In two months of light gaming (I'm old, peoples, and Cities:Skylines is the epitome for me these days) and occasional outbursts of writing the world's worst novel, I began to experience what everybody else who is leaving a bad review experienced: keys that repeat no matter how lightly I strike them, a left shift key that's batting about .400, and a space bar that double and triple spaces no matter how politely I ask it not to. As soon as this review is finished I'm going to unearth my battle-tested non-gaming mechanical so I can type in peace.

I wanted to love this keyboard, and did for a short period of time, but it just didn't hold up under a short burst of reasonable household use, let alone a heavy gaming situation. If you're looking for a good mechanical keyboard, take my advice and look somewhere else.

Mostly pretty good stuff.  Mostly.  However, "Captives Of The Flame", is just bad.  No, I mean, what the hell is going on here bad.  Seriously, how did this even get considered for a "megapack" bad.  I might try being an author, if people actually buy this heap of badness, bad.  I can't put it down though.  Every page is an excruciating exercise patience... but I can't put it down.  I absolutely do NOT want to miss how bad it might get.

IM WRITING IN CAPITALIZED LETTERS, NOT FOR YELLING BUT I LIKE TO WRITE LIKE THIS.  I DONT LIKE TO CRITICIZE PEOPLE, BUT I AM A LITTLE UPSET AS TO WHY SELLERS PUT PRODUCTS UP ON AMAZON, THEN WHEN A CUSTOMER BUYS IT, THEY NEVER GET IT. I BOUGHT THIS GAME AND IT HAS BEEN ALMOST TWO WEEKS SINCE I ORDERED IT AND SO I CONTACTED AMAZON AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS LOST IN TRANSIT AND THAT ID PROBABLY WON'T RECEIVE IT SO I WASTED MONEY FOR NOTHING BUT I DID FIND ANOTHER GAME THAT HAD THIS GAME IN IT SO IT IS ALRIGHT.  I DONT GET ANGRY EASY BUT THIS IS CRAZY CHEATING PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY. BUT I FORGIVE YOU THOUGH.

The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because it's awfully assumptive of how often I think critically.

As I have noted in a few other cases usually I only review books, films, and music on this site so it is unusual for me to tout other products, especially consumer products. And especially because I don't have enough mechanical or technological sense to come in out of the rain But I am very interested in this one, seems like something I can manage and that information may be of help to others in my condition. So this little item is an idea whose time has come.
