I read Clute's review and was very surprised at the poor writing. I know, who am I to criticize, but c'mon: "They are, to begin with, each of them, regardless of the number of volumes they were broken into for easy publication, a single novel."
Different tastes. I like that sentence. Some of the others are overblown, but I think that one works just fine.
As I said before, my main beef with the review is that it contains way too many spoilers for the other series (or other novels, to use Clute's term) for an interview claiming to be fore a newcomer to Wolfe ("You can start here").
I assumed the first sentence of the review was a parody/pastiche of Wolfe's style.
