Check this out...how do people respond to these criticisms. All pretty condescending.

It's a load of rubbish. The same standard old tripe that lazy critics trot out. A paint by numbers piece. He sounds like he swallowed a set of book notes. But then look at the rest of his blog. Same standard old tripe on the rest of it - supermarkets are bad, Cadbury's is horrible chocolate, blah blah blah...so say something we've never heard before from another million blogs...

Interestingly, I noticed yesterday that Brin wrote the foreword to The Science of Middle-earth. He's much more complimentary in that...
