Title: The son is a hack
Review: The old man is getting old and he's trying to set his son up to be a writer. I get it. But what it completely irresponsible is that WEB wouldn't groom his son to take over his legacy. And even more reprehensible is that Butterworth didn't study his father's craft in order to maintain the high writing caliber and crafted storytelling. Butterworth obviously was told to write some chapters, and WEB just stuck them in to make it look seamless. I don't know what's worse: That Griffin didn't aptly teach his son how to be an author, or that Butterworth fells so entitled to his father's readership that he didn't bother to learn. I will never buy anything with Butterworth's name on it, and if that comment by the other reviewer is true - that Butterworth is just a publicist for the Boy Scouts, then he should be ashamed of himself, trying to fill his father's shoes without ever having worked as a writer or even as a journalist.
Is the review positive or negative?
