The eye of the professional is apparent throughout, there's no escape from your Pelgrane supersenses.

The pithy core of this tome is exposed and supped from, marrow-like, with the long spoon of critical perspicacity

This was supposed to appear concurrent with the review of Turjan's Tome of Beauty & Horror. Some of it doesn't make sense without that other review to hand.

And also, I hate html.

Flattering words indeed from one so noble. But why does your hand flutter so around my purse?

The review submission form is a cruel mistriss, but not without humour.

Is the horribly painful dictionary speech supposed to be based on the language of the book, or what? If it is, I hope you are doing it poorly and that no published book actually is written like that. I couldn't force myself to read the review after a few paragraphs because you sound like someone trying to sound intelligent but failing miserably.

Whereas you manage to sound like someone unintelligent without even trying. A remarkable achievement!

It's not "dictionary speech", it's how us well educated British born types speak don't you know.

I stand cowed by one with the perspicacity to see through my hollow rhetoric to the void that lies beneath. Have no fear, good wow, I shall no more trouble your delicate ears with high-flown verbiage in some miserable attempt to dress my dullard's wit as the fine raiment of a scholar such as you. I shall forever more speak plainly and without pretense.

To whit: @!#$ you.

Your servant,

Patrick Hudson.

Truly, your vulgar verbal assault against poor wow was a mere whit of a phrase, but could it be that you intended to write "to wit"?

Lexicographically yours,
