Those people will never work in the publishing industry again.<br /><br />BTW, there&#39;s a tiny joke built into the character&#39;s name. People typically get the nickname &quot;Cap&quot; by attaining the rank of captain. But Cap Crater is a commander, implying that he got demoted somewhere along the way. <br /><br />Thanks again for the review, it made my day.Brian Fieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-49987037331710005112009-07-06T16:05:10.054-04:002009-07-06T16:05:10.054-04:00I know that the author meant well &amp; I&#39;m sure the book must be a great read (I&#39;ll try to find it at the library), but I have one caveat based on what I&#39;ve read.<br /><br />The juvenile in me cringed when I read &quot;Commander Cap Crater&quot; because I just know that this particular name, in the hands of far too many teens &amp; pre-teens, would turn into &quot;Crap Crater.&quot;<br /><br />Granted, almost any name you picked could be turned into a slur but that one was just instantly obvious.<br /><br />Best of success on the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-53238714951867339242009-07-06T12:55:56.123-04:002009-07-06T12:55:56.123-04:00Jeff, thanks very much for your thoughtful and generous review.
