Q: Is this product review positive? Title: What happened to the brilliant writer of Lucky? Review: When I began The Lovely Bones, I'd just finished reading Lucky,which I think is one of the most gripping,insightful,and humorous memoirs I've ever read -- so, I couldn't wait to read Sebold's first novel.Then, to read what seemed like idle reveries of a suburban everygirl or everyboy or everydaughter or everyhousewife or everyhusband,depending on the character in Lovely Bones,well,to say I was disappointed is an everystatement.Lucky was so taut. Its prose, its plot, its magnificent dark humor, about a distinctly unhumorous crime against Sebold,kept the reader riveted. By contrast, The Lovely Bones, with its limp style and indifferent characterization made me struggle to maintain my concentration or to care about these characters.I do think that Sebold's gritty and brilliant writing in Lucky could be repeated in another book. Alas, I didn't find it in The Lovely Bones. Answer:

A: No

Q: Is this product review positive? Title: don't get it wet Review: I already didn't like this unit. The semi-english instructions sounded like they might be helpful if you already knew what they were trying to tell you. The lapping features were hard to use and didn't tell me what I wanted to know (as in, how long did that last lap take?). And I had to have the sending unit replaced (thank goodness for the friendship of The Bike Shop). So I was grudgingly getting along with the thing until I rode with it in the rain. Corroded the contacts, and when I made headway getting those back, the buttons failed. Yep, this was my first bike puter. I guess I expected too much of it. Answer:

A: No
