INVITING BUT NO FUN

About the review of Neal Gabler’s “Winchell” (Nov. 13):

Seeing that old radio on the cover along with Winchell’s “Good evening Mr./Mrs. America,” I reached for a cup of coffee and sat down to enjoy reading the review--but didn’t enjoy it!

The reviewer’s choice of words and phrases was distracting. What does exiguously disreputable mean?

Hope someone else reviews the book (at $30 I’m not going to buy it based on this review)--but keep the same cover on the book review section.
