REVIEWS
As reviewing everything that comes along is part of the territory, critics are steeped in mediocrity. We wonder why the publishers accept the manuscripts and turn them into books. Perhaps because they think critics are perverse enough to like them, the public following our advice. Whereupon money is paid for them.
The Litigators by John Grisham 385pp, Hodder & Stoughton hardcover. Available at Asia Books and leading bookshops, 795 baht
This reasoning isn't altogether delusional. Critics seldom agree and more than a few are perverse _ calling what is good, bad, and what is bad, good. However the majority of critics, myself included, know the difference between good and bad, our rating accordingly. When a good, really good book comes along, we praise it to the skies.
