My first forays onto the internet, decades ago, were book reviews. I had a little blog where I posted artful and challenging reviews of the books I was reading. No one was reading that blog, though. And it was not so artful as I recall.
Lots of peeps in our pioneering internet generation had that beginning.
the book review is a thoroughly enjoyable genre and I am dubious of Mr Garner's dour take, even if he knows how to string a sentence together nicely.
Truuuuly. Dude can write

I used to read book reviews by William H Gass. These were dense, complicated, and rarely about the work which they claimed as their ostensible subject -- and they are fabulous examples of the genre.
It is a genre, and it would be sad to see it go away. I don't think it will though. It has moved online and out of the control of the "official" book reviewers. I think it is possible that the genre is thriving.

Nonetheless, the book review is a thoroughly enjoyable genre and I am dubious of Mr Garner's dour take, even if he knows how to string a sentence together nicely.
