Two Words: Harriet Klausner.

She seems to read about four books a day. Most of her reviews are as pointless as they are brief. Perish the thought to tentatively suggest she concocts a lot of her reviews from the back cover blurbs of novels. Apparently she 'speed reads'. At best they are useless 'been there done that and got the T shirt exercises' although one suspects in many cases she somehow merely 'acquired' a T shirt. There was talk of this on Jeff VanderMeer's blog a while back and also a blog post by him on what a good reviewer should take into consideration.
