However a whole book would be just too tiring. I find his unremitting negativity really wearing even though I agree with a fair bit of what he writes. It sometimes reads like being cornered down the pub by the resident know it all....
To be fair he's not always negative - his recent tribute to Dannie Abse was a lovely, warm piece of writing. I do take your point though - I suspect I'll be throwing the book across the room at times!
