Next well get a review from PC world
Never, only picked it up at an airport gate in desperation. They know nothing.Has anybody who's not a c*** ever purchased the Financial Times?
Are you Mrs Joyce? Go get your tesco club points and leave good literature to those who appreciate it.skinny is right they have to be legitimate reviews. not bs reviews, ie reviews by the cult or by moz under different names as you find in amazon. all the readers who find the book noteworthy on amazon have, strangely, almost identical reviewing styles.
they find awful prose appealing.
the book is terrible face it.
So, how's that plus vs neg going, you f***ing jackass? You went looking in the UAE to find this. I commend you. And by the way, is this a review from someone who reviews books for a living, or just something you found? Got the link, not the text? You see, people whose job it is to review books almost universally find the book shit. Is this a book reviewer, or some dude on Amazon or summat?
Ha ha !
Clutching at straws, it's wank ! Accept it you fool.
What number is it in the book chart ? Why hasn't nephew posted how well it's doing on true to uncle?
Because it's a load of wanky old wank shit.

Reviewed by a music critic. This now seems to be the basic picture, I think in fact only the Guardian (in their second review) and The Times have featured reviews written by actual literature critics.
Since the whole concept of literary reviews rather relies on the notion that it's worth listening to the subjective views of someone who've invested enough time, thought and knowledge into literature that they can make a living writing about it, that makes it all a bit pointless, no? I mean, why should I care what a feature journalist thinks about a novel?
That being said, that probably reflects that edictors have quietly concluded that it doesn't merit treatment as literature, and is basically just newsworthy from a celebrity angle. So they allocate their manpower accordingly.
