To follow up on my earler reaction. I also left a nice, professional comment on his review.

You must be indoctrinated by the Reapers to be crazy enough to think this book is any good. 

I was expecting more swear words or passive aggressiveness. Consider me greatly disappointed in you.

Me too... call me shallow and pedantic, but if he was going to go to all that trouble to prop up Deception as the greatest work of literature ever, he could have at least spelled "Joyce" right. I mean sure, in his opinion James Joyce is no William Dietz, but still...

Make sure to pee on the closest vase in your proximity.

it's pretty obvious that this guy doesn't think the book is great:

"It's uninterrupted nirvana from start to finish

I feel like I'm missing part of my life - It's like someone took a bit of me and tossed it into the eternal abyss of a black hole.

Besides, they probably haven't considered that maybe it's set in a parallel Mass Effect universe, where things are similar yet strangely not quite the same; hence why some things (quite possibly the entire book) seemingly don't make much sense.

this is a must read for everyone who wants to have their imagination captured and raped by a pack of Vor'cha."

actually, Perry Cox would be proud but still, it shows that no one gets it hence a review like this shouldn't be up there at all. especially not if it's giving a 5Star rating.

Maybe I will be alone on this thread who actually likes Deception. It's enjoyable piece of literature if you don't take those lore inconsistencies too seriously. Honestly, I don't remember each Codex entry from the games, so errors don't strike on me to much.
I'm sure several lore problems will be explained in ME3. Timeline inconsistency is probably a result of several game story rewritings (what i mean, maybe ME3 had to take place a few years later, then the writers changed this and forgot to inform Dietz).
And finally I'm guessing fans don't like the book because it's not Karpyshyn's.

ME3 takes place in 2186, which matches up with every single other piece of media set in the Mass Effect universe. 

If Gillian is eighteen, it means Deception happened three years after ME3, or 2189. 

If we take it at the book's word that it's been two years since the geth attack on the Citadel,then  Deception takes place before ME2 in 2185. Heck, it even takes place before Retribution, the novel it's supposed to be a sequel to.

Either Peace and War book really sucks or this guy has problems.

i feel like i died a little inside......

[Quintega]

There were two other errors that kinda of made me twitch in this novel. First Gillian outgrowing her autism, That is impossible since it directly affects thinking over function. Second one is what the Quarians call her is Nar which means born of the ship name she holds, It should be Vas. Gillian Vas Idenna not Gillian Nar Idenna,

The age difference is wrong, then the Biotic classification but those were listed.

I'd almost consider reading this book as a form of torture.

That is the most inhumane thing I have ever heard anyone think up in my life.
