Typical Dostoevsky / Hunter S. Thompson bilge' as, first, the commentator would have admitted to his not having fully read the thing and, second, though it would say much about the commentator's prejudices, I'd be none the wiser about the book itself.
I never said that I was a book critic WGS.
But once you've read for example twenty books by an author and found them all to be rubbish then the 21st publication will no doubt be the same?
However, you're correct, I am prejudiced against the EU, always have been and most likely will continue to be and for good reason too! That's my own personal opinion of course, but should anyone else actually wish to give credence to the spiel eminating from that establishment then good luck to them.
