Domina: Society's Ilk is the story of a woman who refuses to be defined by those that can barely define themselves and rejects the dogged conventions of how she is supposed to be - levied by yet based upon those claiming to be like her. It is the story of a superheroine who is capable of carrying an entire imprint as its franchise offering - so respected so as to garner the support of characters from an entirely different imprint for the purposes of ensuring her proper send-off into the universe. It is a story of last resorts of sorts in a pool of prose where the defiant metaphor which takes its plot seriously cannot be drowned. To Domina, none of this is anything new. She has always shouldered the ever increasing responsibilities of being a protector, the always welcome obligation of being a friend, and the treacherously important burden of being an entrepreneur. So why do her detractors continue to believe they can win?… (mais)

An extremely short, partial installment of a superhero book. In this part, we are introduced to Domina, a scantily clad crime-fighter who has the ability to turn anyone into a helpless slave. Her secret identity is the traditional high-powered executive. Really, from what I can tell from this small section, this book is just bad. Domina is an over-powered bombshell with nothing to add in terms of personality. The narrative plunges awkwardly from half-cocked discussions of feminism to extremely vague and fake-sounding board meetings. Nothing has a point. The writing is just so stilted and uneasy. The author has a way of using big words that make you doubts he knows exactly what they mean. Add that to the fact that the author self-censors by blanking out his characters' curse-words. How does that make any sense?

The fact that I couldn't even auto-add this book because Library Thing couldn't find a record of it should say plenty about its quality. Give this one a miss. ( )

This was hard to get into. I wasn't very taken with the first 100 pages, so finishing it was arduous. ( )

I read the other reviews and breathed a sigh of relief - it's not just me who found this book as currently written fairly painful to read. I haven't been able to bring myself to finish it, and that's something that rarely happens. I saw a lot of instances of "let's use five words when one or two would work just as well" as I was reading, and it didn't flow well at all. I did get some chuckles from things like the "Flogger of Thud", but if it wasn't intended to be funny, then I'm not sure it's a good thing that I found it amusing. If it's ever available in a well-edited version, I'd give it another try, but as it's written now, I can't recommend it. ( )

I found this hard to get into, and only received part of the book, so do not know how it continued. I do not think I would, in any case, be interested in reading any more as it was too unrewarding to wade through. ( )

I'd be a nice guy, but I heard that they finish last, so it's like what's the use of doing all that work just to come up short?

The only sellouts in my eBook are people who don't do what is best for themselves when the time calls for it. If somebody told you otherwise or said differently to you while playing the team player card, they lied.

Buffalo Grove happened to be a tough city before the mayor had the presence of mind to turn a blind eye to its vigilantes, and that was with a stacked police department. Unfortunately, universal cities attract universal criminals. For once, the stepped up response included an applicable amount of deterrent to fit those crimes. A post-crime response which is meant to prevent a crime that already happened from happening again never works, and retribution was neither the intent of the law nor a strong enough argument to keep barbaric practices like capital punishment around. Vigilantism is the poetry of versatility. That plus the blurring of the line caused perpetrators to not necessarily second-guess themselves but hesitate during the phases of planning and execution. This little bit of time when the perps were not out making moves added up exponentially. Its results net a substantial decline in petty, violent, and white-collar crime plus a noticeable drop in fatalities. Vigilantes made everybody uncomfortable - nervous, and I couldn't have been happier. They made my transferring to Second Earth a much easier decision because I knew that everything that I had to leave behind in Buffalo Grove would be left in some very skilled hands.

Great, I was hoping for a chance to get away before my meeting in order to check out Buffalo Grove Days. I'd all but missed it (entirely) last year. But next year, I'm thinking that I'll just take the day off and bring a date.
