Oh, yes. I really believe that some pro reviewers have forgotten the purpose of reviews, which is to clue readers to books they might enjoy. They end up doing jaded analysis, without any academic or intellectual rigor--just years of reading and spot-judgments. I loathe that tone; as soon as I sense it in any review, I refuse to read on.
