Title: I tried to make it to the end Review: I really did try to finish reading this book -- Honest I did! -- but I just couldn't.In the beginning, the idea of a full length novel written in Poe-esque style was interesting. Then, when that style was combined with an authentic backwoods Kentucky dialect for Davy Crockett, it was a novelty. After 150 pages it was no longer interesting nor novel, it was just painful. Buried underneath all of this "highfalutin" writing is, I think, a very good story, but I just didn't have the fortitude to dig deep enough to find it.I have no doubt in my mind that this novel was meticulously researched. I have no doubt that the writing and speaking styles correctly and accurately represent both Poe and Crockett. I have no doubt that the historical settings are correct and representative of the time period. I do, however, have serious doubts about the readability and enjoyment of this book. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Attack of the mutant modifiers Review: I eagerly opened this book and excitedly began reading it. After a few excruciating minutes, my wife walked by quietly."What are you reading?" she asked curiously."Eragon," I replied discouragedly."Why do you sound depressed?" she inquired inquiringly."Every other word is a damned adverb or adjective," I replied irritatedly."That could be a problem," she replied knowingly."Yes, it IS a problem," I muttered angrily. "Nobody simply DOES something in this book, they have to do it DESCRIPTIVELY. (...)""One might say his writing is rather prolix," she observed sagely."Actually, I like the word prolix and I even use it from time to time, but yes that about hits the nail on the head," I declared emphatically."How much shorter would this book be if some editor hacked off all the deadwood adjectives & adverbs?" she mused bemusedly."Probably about 100 pages," I replied speculatively.

Title: Forget it. Review: Sorry, folks, if you liked "Acadie" for it's diversity and beauty, don't expect to find it on this CD. It felt like one, long, boring song set in a standard rock idiom. Yawn! "Acadie", however, is wonderful! Is the review positive or negative?
