Reactions and Reviews

1990

The style of these two pieces didn't appeal to me at all. I found the patterning after dissertation papers much too dry and formal for something I am reading for enjoyment. [2]

I liked the idea of this.

I also thought it an intriguing thought that Spock's 'death' would be covered up so that a hundred or so years in the future no one would be sure what happened. However, both these papers were too short for the point they were trying to take.[3]

I found this very interesting and unique even though it wasn't a 'story' in the usual sense. The footnotes were a nice touch.[4]
