Best and worst blurbs on books you are currently reading

[TexasProgresive]

Here's a some from Terry Prachett's Thief of Time.
The worst is from "The Houston Chronicle" and is what must be a corollary of Godwin's Law for literary pundits. Think J.R.R. Tolkien with a sharper, more satiric edge.

Best in medium length by A.S. Bryatt, "Truly original... Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz... Has the energy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland... Brilliant!"

Best that is long by Barbara Mertz, "Trying to summarize the plot of a Pratchett novel is like describing Hamlet as a play about a troubled guy with an Oedipus complex and a murderous uncle. Pratchett isn't Shakespeare - for one thing, he's funnier - but his books are richly textured and far more complex than they appear at first.
...Consider yourself grabbed by the collar, with me shouting, 'You've got to read this book!'"

It appears to me that Bryatt and Mertz actually read the book and The Chronicle did not.

There are other that sound like the wannabe wine snob at a wine tasting or from a boiler plate template.
