Rating:  - "Don't pay any attention to the critics--don't even ignore them! "..Samuel Goldwyn
A fun little book.Whether you're talking about books,movies,plays,art,music or anything else, there have been critics all through the ages who have made comments and assessments that time has proven to be totally off the mark.
