maybe i'm mister curmedgeon today but I don't really think of this as
an unbalanced review unlike that dipshit in New York magazine (no
reviewer worth their salt should ever say I Hate this I like that)
she gave her reasons and u may disagree but that's cool. I happen to
agree w/ her that M&D is pbly the best of the post-GR books (and I
would argue again, the book he spent the most time on)
