An Underrated Genre

What makes the British censor reports worth reading are their bizarrely detailed accounts of violence. [One extract] could have simply said "there was a lot of bloody violence," but instead goes into gruesome detail about exactly what horrific delights... gore aficionados can expect. There almost seems to be an air of the critic in this one, expressing disappointment at the lack of realism. Add to this the clinical, bureaucratic tone that seems totally at odds with the subject matter and they often end up reading like the diary of a psychopathic English civil servant.
The Escapist

There's an idea for a novel in there, if some twisted fan of Sade and Yes, Minister cared to write it...
