Has the word 'asshat' appeared in Kirkus before?

If not, it has now.

And I'm the one who used it.

Yes, that's right: Kirkus Reviews has totally revamped their website, and they've added blogs. I'll be posting original content (i.e. not available here or anywhere else) there every other week. (As will a whole pile of other bloggers -- including, today, Sarah Wendell of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books! I got paired with one of the SBs! Woo!)

Anyway. For my inaugural post, I revisited Joe Francis' Worst Nightmare: Lois Duncan's Daughters of Eve. Which, I'm happy to report, was made of even more crazy than I remembered.
