[Editor Review] Sociopath, A Memoir - Jeff Stanford
What he didn't like: "Gagne is sometimes too clever for her own good. Not every moment needs a clever aside. We get it, you’re witty. Her exploits in the LA music scene come off less like a memoir and more like bragging."

[Reader Review] Supergirl - William P.
What he didn't like: "The script, the lighting, the villain, the songs during action sequences taking me out of the movie, the young girl sidekick, action sequences were sometimes hard to follow, trying too hard to be edgy, Supergirl does not act heroic and is unlikable."
