I do believe that some reviewers are in the process of reading it, as the 
last thing Penguin wants is a scattering of superficial, overgeneralising, 
and, therefore forbidding reviews. Suffice it to recollect such an 
'encouraging' beginning of a M&D review (no wonder, it was written 2 weeks 
after the book was received):

'Here is my own preliminary view, based on 400 pages read, 200 skimmed, and 
100 foregone'

Then what would be the case of Against the Day: 400 read, 200 skimmed, 392 
foregone?
