Reviews
Kate Pullinger writes in her review of End of Books that Yellowlees Douglas' "tone is often charmingly bad-tempered; she makes plain her frustration that hyperfiction works and their writers are still not considered part of the canon." Pullinger finds Douglas' works fascinating.
Other books reviews have not been as kind . Some find Yellowlees Douglas' work to be rather morbid in tone as some refer to the title as a "doomsday title". A popular criticisim of hypertext is that there is no finite conclusion leaving the reader at a loss.

Famous quotes containing the word reviews:
“Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books—same reviews.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.”
—Wladziu Valentino Liberace (1919–1987)
