Critics

There are a lot of harsh critics out there. A lot. What I don't understand is how they could have so many problems with To Kill a Mockingbird and none with Atonement and other works from the last decade. I understand the role that they play, but I wish they weren't so lofty and rancorous about it. Sure, review a book, but let's remember, critics don't usually make very good writers...they come from their Harvard's and their Brown's...which you think would give them some good back stories, but they end up being just as righteous as the people they often criticize. Perhaps even more so.
