“Because I have subjected my colleagues (if I am allowed to assign such an appellation to those whose practices I so often find deficient) to a direct fire-line of criticism, and I understand fully the pain such treatment can inflict, I will assure all that I take pains to be as fair, thorough, and helpful as possible. Nowhere in my criticism will you find spoilers (as so many reviews contain) and always will you come across examples to back up my claims. Never will you see slander sprung from resentment, personal vendetta, bias or gratuitous pejorative.” WritingHumourLiterary Criticism Author:--Dennis E Bolen
