Reviews of l'academie from good reads
>I cannot sneed this book. It deserves a place on the bookshelf between Shakespeare and Call of the Crocodile

>A decade from now academics will still be debating who got it right: Orwell or Huxley. Waldunchads will sit in the back of the lecture halls with a slight smirk on their face. They're still debating this...even after all these years? Heh. They'll get up and move slowly to the door.
>As a cool wind blows through the campus they'll put their earbuds in and adjust their collar. Slyly, they'll drop a copy of L'Academie onto the ground. It's not rubbish--but it will surely be picked up...eventually.
>L'Academie was truly a wonderful textual journey that almost transcends any form of analysis. Though, with a sad heart, I am almost sure it will be looked over by today's Idiotocracy I'm just as sure it will be nudgeing it's place among the other literary classics very soon. I can't wait for the inevitable film adaptation as well. Surely one of the modern greats (J.J Abrams, Kevin Feige etc) will be at the directing helm; at least I hope so. I also hope they keep true to the books more darker scenes as everyone of them is integral to it's dystopian narrative. Waldon's descriptions of massive mile long complexes full of white kids being forced to watch sissy hypnosis videos on YouTube while in isolated cubicles was one of the most harrowing things I've read in a long while

>Mr. Waldun, sir, your proses... they flow! The pure orthodoxies drip from your pages as if he were carrying a box of hotdogs down a street and bumped into a stray dog.
>To anyone who questions this fine novel by pointing out so called "typos" or "plot holes" I have only this to say:
>Fellow Waldun Scholar and devoted follower of the Melbourne Movement--let me explain. Such points are nonimportant within the corpus of Waldun's writing. While a well-read individual, which I'm sure you are given your taste has lead you to our man, will easily point out such discrepancies as plot holes or lazy writing, it should be firmly pointed out that such are actually part of Waldun's meta-dream logic prose. I know it's difficult, given how deeply immersive Waldun's prose always is, but we must remember where we are--we're in Waldun's world!
>Oh, we have but a window through which to look upon this man. Men like ourselves must always remain on the periphery as our mundane and normal lives fail to provide us with the keen discerning eye that belongs to our man. Waldun knows this and he'll use meta-fictional devices to remind us that we are in fact reading a book...he must keep us grounded.

The poor quality of the book is partly to blame on Waldun himself. But the editor's hold a lot of blame since they weren't real editors. Waldun should throw them under the bus. They shouldn't be respected. You also shouldn't publicly stand by a work that wasn't ready for publication. You should retract it and work on it until it is truly ready.

Frank Gardner can't understand any of this because he's a hack who is in it for money and quick fame.

Dude I've talked to the guy and I know for a fact this isn't true. If anything Gardner has a bit of an ego. He thinks his books are masterpieces. Again I do think he's overall a good guy and don't mean this to sound too critical. But if you think Gardner thinks his books are bad then you're extremely wrong.

I honestly don't understand how he thinks his books are great when he fails at simple grammar and punctuation. I'm taking you at face value and assuming you actually talked to him, so what's his justification? I actually don't think his ideas are bad but his actual technique is sloppy.

I’ve Croc too. Jigoku is the only other book of his I read but I will say he improved with that one. He seems to have improved or hired an editor. I don’t know the exact details. From what I remember his justification was something like “As long as the story is good then it’s a good book.” I’m paraphrasing because I don’t remember exactly how he said it. But it was something like that. He’s kind of the stereotype of an arrogant artist type. In that he believes God put him on this planet to write his books. He talks about this part quite a bit.
