If you say to just read the book then what's even the point of writing a review? I could say the same about any book which renders the advice meaningless.

- lxgr 7mo agoTo me, the point of a review is to tell me – without spoilers – whether it manages to deliver a compelling ending, presents interesting ideas etc. If I really just want to know whether I like the prose, I can indeed read the first few pages before buying/lending it.
- satvikpendem 7mo agoYes that would be a good review but the linked article seems to still only be a plot summary.
