Review the book

I found your review of One Good Turn by Mary Leunig to be narrow-minded and offensive (Books, October 27– November 2). Even if she is “mentally ill”, are you saying that the mentally ill have no right to express themselves? And how about reviewing the work itself, on its merits, instead of making guesses about an author’s mental state or motivations? We could all guess until the cows come home.
