My favourites are the ones I have reviewed here My reviews were originally posted at the now defunct CharmedOnes.com site.
Author Paul Ruditis saw my review of Leo Rising, and was grateful enough to sent me an autographed copy (through Andrea Haag, who owned the website).
That's very cool, he did that. That must be worth something now. I wonder how Charmed would be like if Paul Ruditis was in charge not Kern, if we had to have a male in charge of Charmed, I'd pick him. Although I think the team of Chris Levinson & Zack Estrin could have been even better. They wrote some of Charmed's best episodes like Morality Bites, P3 H20, Chick Flick, Pre-Witched and Is There a Woogy in the House?. Another two writers, my names are drawing blanks on, but one wrote All Halliwell's Eve.

After Kernus seized power, he gradually drove away all the good writers from the early seasons, including Chris Levinson and Zack Estrin. Losing them really hurt the show, IMO.
The lady who wrote All Halliwell's Eve was Sheryl Anderson, another great writer. She left the show in protest over the unjust firing of Shannen Doherty.

That's too bad, and really upsetting. I heard he was a nasty person behind the scenes, according to a news report, he got fired from CBS. Thanks, that is the writer I was thinking about. She was talented. I don't blame them for leaving, maybe Connie parting, and Shannen firing was the last straw for them. Don't blame them, and seeing the direction the show was taking already in S3.

You heard right. Kernus (that's what we call him at Glued To The Screen) was a horrible person to women. He would called Alyssa, Holly, and Rose "psychos" and "bitches" behind their backs. He once referred to pregnant woman as a "cow".
Glad to see him get his comeuppance.
Yeah, I think that, by the end of Season Three, all the good writers were gone.

I'm very happy to hear that. He sounds like a horrible person, and it was not just his writing style and what he did to Charmed. Seriously, can't believe he was like that behind their backs. I hate that he still has the book of shadows when the show ended, that book should be in the hands of Holly and or Connie, or auctioned of for charity. That's very true.

Indeed, he does not deserve to have that book.

And, sadly nobody can get that book back from me, he has no shame. If only he got caught 20 years earlier.

That's why I mourned the ending of the Charmed novels. They showed us a Charmed free from the taint of Kernus.
I'm glad that the final two novels were written by Paul and Diana respectively.

CARINA SAID: I know. It is too bad, they also didn't go back and do more novels set during the Prue Years. Also too bad they didn't produce some alternate series novels, those are pretty popular with television shows, where they take the series in a different direction. I'd so read one where Prue didn't die.

I wonder if they plan to make any novels based on the reboot?

These reviews prove that you CAN review stuff if you're truly interested. If only you'd review Elemental Charmed the way you review these, I'd believe that you're truly interested and don't just want to have your name at the end of each thread, that as usual it's all about you and not the author or other reviewers.
If you're not interested, please don't "review" EC, the reason why I don't/won't review your stories or StoryGirl's - and she knows I don't and she knows why - just not interested in her Wyatt and Chris and can't keep all of her characters straight - and she doesn't care. She appreciates that I'm honest. I'd appreciate if you'd be honest and only review when you're going to review like you reviewed these.
Thanks!

The reasons these books review are done as they are is because they were written in an official capacity. They originally appeared on the CharmedOnes.com website (a site that is much missed) on which I was on staff as the Charmed Book Reviewer.
As far as EC is concerned, well, I never said I was reviewing it. Rather I'm just throwing in comments, which I have every right to do. As long as I stay within the rules of this site, and I have, I will post what I want, when I want, and where I want. If you don't like it, Esmeralda, well, too bad.
Thank you, and good day.

Well, please don't throw in short boring comments that just makes us roll our eyes, so we won't have to waste our time reading them okay? That's why we don't like them - they're boring! If you're not going to read it and review it like Carina, PVille and Deidre do, and like I do with Carina's, just leave the EC thread alone.
Thanks!

Who's "we"?
You seem to think that you're speaking for the others, Esmeralda, when, in fact, you are speaking for yourself alone. No one else here as said a single word about my posts (at least they haven't to me), so it seems they don't have an issue with it.
And again, as long as I follow the rules here, I can post wherever I jolly well please. You have no authority to stop me.
You don't like my posts, Esmeralda, then either ignore them or use the block button (although that is not what's for, but I digress).
