Interesting. I wonder if by “needlessly highbrow” you mean that this is a reasonably well-written missive in which the reviewer displays a fairly urbane level of syntax, spelling, and grammar. I found it somewhat refreshing, especially in comparison to the usual comments and reviews I read here that display a level of writing skill I might normally see in a grade school book report, were I in fact to visit a grade school and read such a report. Granted, this reviewer does project a bit of cloying snobbery as he sips his scotch and puffs his Cuban cigar. Perhaps the reviewer is the scion of a noble family accustomed to such pseudo-aristocratic pursuits, or a man of letters with (gasp) a university education who fancies himself a wordsmith. Indeed, he uses the word “opaque” as if it figures prominently in his lexicon. Certainly, such loquacious verbiage as the writer employs here, especially in the opening paragraph and sprinkled throughout, is not essential to the salacious purpose for which his carnal experience with the lovely Kira is pontificated to his fellow hobbyists and promulgated forthwith in this forum. And I did indeed identify a number of grammatical deficiencies in this review, mainly involving the use of commas. Of course, I suspect some of them may be the result of simple typographical errors, and none stand out as particularly egregious. Perhaps the reviewer should have invested more time in his post-compositional editing efforts. That may be a pretentious observation on my part. Nonetheless, and not withstanding the somewhat less-than-highbrow level of most of whom I suspect are the denizens of this austere forum, I found it edifying, if not mildly dispiriting, in light of my personal experiences and association with Kira. But woe betide us if we hobbyists deign to chastise a penman who places himself under the discerning and critical scrutiny of his peers, however base or aberrant we may be, and finds himself criticized or even derided for what may be a laudatory effort to provide us with utilitarian content in the form of ostensively highbrow rhetoric. Of course, as the wise and discerning Yogi Berra once said, "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
