Question: Title: weird illustrations Review: I decided to pick this book up because I liked some other books of this serie. I have no prior knowledge of Barthes's theories, so I can't say whether the book itself is accurate. Overall the book is easy to follow, and the author seems very knowledgeable on the subject.My biggest problems are the illustrations. I don't like the drawing style itself, but the content of the pictures perplex me. The drawings are somewhat crude to say the least, and I couldn't understand the relationship between the picture and the text. I can understand there being a little cartoon of people in an orgy when the text is talking about Barthes' perception of Sade's literary work.pictures. But a lot of the other illustration had sexual content where I couldn't see its relevance to the text. I expect to see that kind of art in Indy comics, not in a book that talks about semiotics and the like. Is the review positive or negative?

Question: Title: Nothing new under the sun Review: Singers like Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Mariah are talented, and Mariah Carey is notable for her broad vocal range. But what gets me about all of these artists is the frightfully unoriginal albums and sounds they put out. Each gets some forgettable pap songs to exercise their vocal gymnastics on, sings their carefully coached guts out over a shmaltzy synthesized arrangement the basic sound of which *hasn't changed* in easy listening music since 1982, and sells 8 million albums. It's easy to see why these kinds of things keep getting produced, as they are so popular. But sometimes I wish the public would demand something new; these talents could be put to much more daring use. Is the review positive or negative?
