And the other issue with bookstore reviews is you really don't know who the reviewer is. Probably the same problem you'd have on the blog, but at least I know I'm not related to Karl Klein
I think the problem with many self-styled "reviewers" is that they don't know shit from shinola about what constitutes good writing. It's the same sort of thing I see when the silly and uninformed make claims like "I don't know about art but I know what I like." Usually in the next sentence you will hear them tell you how great Norman Rockwell was and how terrible Picasso was...

We need gatekeepers, but I am not so sure that the average reader really makes a good gatekeeper.
