Here's a review in the New York Times by someone who has the most cursory understanding of genre- actually, I think he hasn't even peered past the covers.

He uses a most... striking... simile to demonstrate the full blizzardy expanse of his ignorance too.

    If you're referring to the simile at the beginning, I thought that was tongue in cheek.

    Anyway, isn't he a horror writer? He wrote The Last Werewolf, at least.

    Really? So the guy was being ironic? Oops. Maybe I should have spotted that...

    Who can tell, with someone who wears his hair like that? Maybe he was being so ironic he was actually being serious. I will say, however, that struggling through his review gave me no desire to read his book.
