I hated, hated, hated, HATED this movie

This book is a compendium of several of Roger Ebert's movie reviews. They're all of movies he gave 2 stars or fewer - so reading his reviews is like watching a slow-moving trainwreck. He's acerbic, witty, and pointed in his reviews. He never loses sight of the fact that they're HIS reviews, and HIS impressions of the movie. He doesn't recommend a movie, or say "you'll hate it" or otherwise insult our intelligence. And, of course, the worse the rating, the more entertaining the review.
However, the book is very entertaining, and is an easy "drop-in-and-out" book.

I loved, loved, loved LOVED this book.
4.5 bones for it. Well done, Mr. Ebert.
