Weeks have passed and I am moved to make another comment. This is the rare sort of review that makes the reputation of the writer, if the writer is young in the profession, as I think Mr. Wylie is. Nothing published on Cohan's book in any magazine or newspaper compares with this Amazon review in sweep and quality. Rabinowitz's review is more historically important simply because it was published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL and repudiates an earlier puff review in the same newspaper, but Wylie's review surpasses every other in scope, detail, and rigorous application of high intelligence. With this review Wylie exalts Amazon's progress as a great honest democratic reviewing site.
