My favorite Poe book review was the one he did for Francis Glass' "Washingtonii Vita" -- which was a biography of George Washington written in Latin. In the beginning Poe is quite favorable, commenting on how well it is written (Poe was classically educated like many in the 19th century and could read Latin fluently), but finally in the end he is like "Um, okay, but why?" https://www.eapoe.org/works/criticsm/slm35g01.htm https://www.eapoe.org/works/criticsm/slm35g01.htm
