Now, were I looking at comments on, say Dostoevsky's
The Idiot or Hunter S. Thompson's
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, hoping to get some idea of whether I'd like to read either, I'd most likely discount any that read 'Sorry, but couldn't bring myself to read more than half of that claptrap. Typical Dostoevsky / Hunter S. Thompson bilge' as, first, the commentator would have admitted to his not having fully read the thing and, second, though it would say much about the commentator's prejudices, I'd be none the wiser about the book itself.
