His post was helpful to me and unless you know some secret motivation that the rest of us don't, I have no idea why you'd think it was mean-spirited.
I don't download Walker's books, but Dr. Drib's post got me to click the link so I could read the bad reviews and I got a chuckle from Publishers Weekly's flowery language (since they couldn't just come out and say "the book is crap"): "With this seventh entry, Walker's series about FBI forensic pathologist Dr. Jessica Coran moves from original paperback to hardcover, presumably in a bid to absorb some of the Patricia Cornwell overflow. But
turgid writing, heavy-handed atmospheric padding and a plot swollen with predictable turns would seem to seriously limit those aspirations."
So thanks for the laugh, Dr. Drib.
