Reviewer Limerick

There once was a prolific reviewer
 who reviewed everything from shipyards to sewers.
   With great dispassion,
     he reviewed an assassin,
  and wished he'd written one review fewer.

Available free through the Orwell Foundation

An amusing essay that reveals the dirty secrets of book criticism, while proposing that the vast majority of books don’t merit a review. Just a few pages long.
