So...an academic book review is a genre, with very specific expectations. It is a functional piece of writing, meant to perform a service to others - like a map, or a technical guide. That's not to say there's no skill in it, but function should come before form. 1/3

A good review ought to note the difference! Likewise, is a book a good starting point for a classicist who isn't a specialist in a given sub-field but wants a sense of the communis opinio?

Or does a book offer a useful, even valuable, minority viewpoint which is must-read material for the in-sub-field-specialist, but might be misleading as to the overall state of the matter if read by someone unfamiliar with long-running debates in that corner of classics?
