I've not been my best self this week...

When GR prompts me to review a book, it's a terrible temptation to write exactly what I think. At best, I ramble; at worst, I pick a book apart.
But then I see the author's face in a bio pic. And I remember it's not words on a page I'm criticizing, it's a person.
Cardinal rule of critique: sandwich critique between praises. And critique is not criticism.
