Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: It's only alive while Ravelstein is Review: In this faux memoir, Bellow gives us Abe Ravelstein, a fascinating, infuriating and ultimately delightful character. This is the book's problem. Being so much larger than life, Ravelstein's presence overwhelms all the other characters so that they totally disappear into the background. When Ravelstein dies, the book for all intents and purposes ends as an interesting read. It limps along with Chick's own brush with death which just feels tacked on. I am aware that this book has a basis in reality, but it just doesn't hold together well. The character that Bellow has created in Ravelstein; regardless of his origin, deserved better. Answer:
(A).
Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: I know it's supposed to be a cool cult classic... Review: But that doesn't mean that these movies don't suck. I saw the Tarantino/Rodriguez Grindhouse movie and loved the whole thing so much that I thought I'd give a real grindhouse movie a chance. Honestly, this was painful. I couldn't possibly recommend it to anybody. I really do get that this is supposed to represent some kind of "experience," but in all fairness, stubbing your toe counts as an experience, too. I would put this movie somewhere between stubbing your toe and having your eyes gouged out. Answer:
(A).
Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: One trick pony Review: OOO... Portals. Aside from walls textured with photos from a lower G.I. exam this game has nothing new to offer. The storyline is dull and plodding and the hero is hard to empathize with. The dismally small array of weapons includes uninspired gems like; a machinegun, a slightly large machinegun, and grenades. Prey mimics other games like Unreal Tournament, and Half Life, it just doesn't do it very well. Save your money, wait till it's a $9.99 "classic." Answer:
(A).
