Title: A trip back to my childhood. Review: This book is a series of memoirs from a boy growing up in the far south-west area of Chicago known as Mt. Greenwood. It centers on his description of life as a Catholic boy going to a Catholic grammar school. Let me say here that I am a Protestant, but I grew up in this same neighborhood and had many Catholic friends so the situations were very familiar to me. The author's delema when he first learns about the different kinds of sins and his struggle to get through the week without sin in case he doesn't make it to confession is a sensitive but funny episode. All of the characters and places in this story are real, if described though the eyes of a boy, of course. If you grew up Catholic or grew up among Catholic children (or grew up in Mount Greenwood, Chicago) this is a must-read! Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Finally! I can butterfly a chicken! Review: This baby cuts through chicken backbones like buttah! Other shears may do the same, but not without a struggle. By far, though, the best part of this item is that it comes apart easily for thorough cleaning. No chance of bad chicken vibes hanging around on this pair of shears. Easy to disassemble and reassemble. Is the review positive or negative?
(Answer)
Positive

Title: Stiled and Hokey Review: This is the first book by Sawyer that I've read, and I doubt I'll go out of my way to read another. The writing was awkward, and the characters were caricatures, not believable human beings. The basic idea of the story was fairly interesting, but it developed into hokey new-age tripe. Not what I was expecting from "science" fiction Is the review positive or negative?
