You haven't yet! You asked earlier whether a book critic would be prevented fom criticising one book more than another.

You obviously think that said critic would be justified in judging these books from reading five or six pages of each. Based on that, some heavyweights of the literary world whose prose takes a bit of getting into, would have been panned by you.

People like Dickens, Conan Doyle, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker for example.
