NEGATIVE CRITICISM

I just love a sharp, witty critique of a book (even if it is off the mark). I wish I had an acid touch like that sometimes. I admire people who can concoct biting barbs off the top of their head (although these may have been ruminating a lot longer than we know). I present here two that I like:


"The covers of this book are too far apart." --- Ambrose Bierce

"Once you put it down you can't pick it up." ---Mark Twain
