INTERESTING BOOK REVIEW

Very few situations annoy me as much as finding a book reviewer who is uninformed or unwilling to be informed. Such people can be very damaging, not only to the author being reviewed, but to the consumer – the reader of the review. Happily, the author of "Ghost Hunters," Deborah Blum, drew the long straw and got Anthony Gottlieb to produce the New York Times’ review of her book. Mr. Gottlieb appears to have been educated and informed by his contact with Ms. Blum's efforts.

I found this a little jumbled and expected comment on how badly and uncritically the book had been reviewed. The opposite was the case.

Maybe I'm just tired.

Could/should this get a bit of a rewrite?

To me, Randi's comment reads as "normally reviews of paranormal books are terrible but, unfortunately for the author, this one's quite good."
