Nothing wrong with the way this book was written

"No one has examined the poems more sensitively or set down his results more lucidly. His analyses of 'The Waste Land' and of many other poems are the most complete, reliable, and forthright yet written; they are the product of a deep and long knowledge of Eliot's work." --Richard Ellman
