Once, long ago, editing was considered a separate job from writing, and as many as fourteen of these "editors" would be hired for each Book Review.

How many NY Times editors does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

The thing is that the New York Times Book Review isn't actually a good book review. It's the frickin New York TImes, they could really TRY to make you say "Yay it's Sunday morning," or at the very least, "Huh I wonder what [critic] has to say about [book]." Instead it's just a bunch of text they put together to go between publishers' advertisements.
