Query: Hooray for Publishers Weekly!

I was overjoyed to read the editorial review from Publishers Weekly: in this "pretentious, unbearably arch, exasperating novel ... Hendrie's affected style immediately sets the reader's teeth on edge, and his singularly unappealing, eccentric characters are more caricature than flesh.... Hendrie has produced a fatally mannered, boring book." Hendrie himself was an angry, self-centered egomaniac who insisted that his students write exactly as he did, thus destroying who knows how many potential talents. I am glad he is gone. Burn his rotten, boring books.
