Clute's reviews in SF Weekly have tended to be like that--Clute at his most
pontificating and (usually) least enlightening.  The Hal Clement review is
the one I like best, for some reason.  Really a shame, given that I'd suppose
it's possible it's his largest audience.

The Fantasy Encyclopedia is, I'd argue, even better than the SF Encyclopedia.
It leaves more out because it has a much larger, really, ground to tackle, but
what's there is very good (including nice articles on most everyone, save
Proust, who could be thought of as a major influence on Wolfe--very nice ones
on Chesterton and Lewis by our list's own Dave Langford).
