“…not a Booker winner by a chalk of unimaginable, indeed infinite length”

“ A tremendous page-turner – but only on account of tremendous boredom…”

“Duty has been more than done; it has been cooked to a cinder.”

“A light has been shone into a very dusty corner of history – and I, for 
one,
have no intention of spending time there…”

“I glanced through it out of a politeness that became impossible to 
sustain…”

“Hold the felling of another forest! This book could be recycled at once.”
