Q: Title: Oh, for Christ's Sake. Review: "Liked Neuromancer? You'll love Snowcrash!" I should have known better. The guy who uttered that recommendation was an idiot. Snowcrash features everything I despise about bad science fiction. First off, there's the high "geek" factor of technolust, where the author can't help gloating about his knowledge of computers. Second, I . . . I just can't go on. If you're looking for more Neuromancer, don't read this book. Read Cormac McCarthy or Tim O'brien instead; like Gibson, they are great writers first, genre writers second. Stephenson is a slightly clever SF hack, and that's about it.

Q: Title: overrated Review: Louis L'Amour does a far better job of capturing the wild West and the culture of Indians of that period. The book makes you believe it is real, but is really fiction based on one small factoid, which itself may have never actually happened: the trading of white women for horses with the western American Indians. Is the review positive or negative?
A: Negative


Q: Title: Film Noir look! Review: This book is indeed a bargain if you are a fan of dark moody B&W; portraiture. Along the likes of Corbjin, some of Rolston, Matt Mahurin, Albest Watson,Parry manages to do more with less light.As for the criticism of monotony this is suppose to be a monograph which is a collection if images that are part of a theme.If you think his lighting is simple and boring, set it up and see if you can get the same results. Now add into the mix a limited time with a famous ego and see how you do. The fact that he gets what he does in this age of restrictive celebrity photography is amazing. The "real life" lighting doesn't always flatter the subject in a way that would drive most publicists over the edge. Is the review positive or negative?
