either后面的一句话要理解清楚，ethically compromised表明reviewer是dishonest的，actually plotted what can, in all positive senses of the word, be described as a thriller表明这个author的作品居然thriller（actually表明一种surprising，说明通常情况下这个author的作品是boring的）。连起来意思就是because even his staunchest advocates will consider his novels boring（=loath to consider his novel riveting）, either reviews is lying or his recent work is indeed excellent.
