Roger Ebert came to my attention through Wikipedia. In most cases I often scroll straight past the synopsis when I'm unsure as to whether to bother with a film, instead resorting to the Critical Response section. In almost every instance of these sections pre late 2013 you will find some sort of quote from Ebert. He was a critic who was always fair whilst being sharply, intensively critical and appreciated film like no other. Reading this book was a delight, with each movie getting two to three pages of critique, accompanied by a representative screen cap for each. His adoration for these, films he considers to be the best, is latent and infects the reader with enthusiasm. He was a hero of mine (I was always pleased at how often, though no always, our opinions matched) and as the only movie critic to date to win a Pulitzer Prize...well, you can imagine. His words are well thought out and writing style easy to enjoy. Cannot recommend this enough.
