Had to jump on this one, and then will bail out of this for good, I promise.
" It would seem that reviews are pretty much worthless from what I have
recently read here, so "
I only review books I really like. I ignore those I don't like or those
that I feel so-so about. Thus, if I do review a book, that review is
perfectly for real, and as one who has gardened whole hog for almost five
decades now, I don't think it would at all be "worthless."
