Ok, more pressure on writing up my three book reviews from the (very good) Matthew Cheney aka The Mumpsimus in his post A Perfect Example of Bad Reviewing...
One of the problems in the SF field is that, in general, the reviewing is just so bad -- not negative, but cautious, general, fueled by hype, uncritical, and useless as anything other than a statement of, "I liked it," or "I didn't like it".
Oh...err....
