Title: Written like a conversation with a friend Review: Bobos was a delight to read. It was written as though a friend was talking to you over a cup of coffee; it wasn't bogged down with statistics and graphs, etc. Brooks' ideas were fascinating and his writing style was a pleasure -- I laughed out loud several times. A quick, fun read. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Not really water resistant Review: I recently purchased this watch for my husband. It was advertised as water resistant to 50 ft.+ He wore it into the water at Bahia Honda in Florida for a total of 1 1/2 hours and it stopped working. When we took it to watch repair they said they'd never seen such a bad case of rust and it couldn't be repaired. We were able to return it and get our money back. Buyer beware.

Title: No observed effect Review: As a result of an opereation I had in my early 20s, I've had digestive problems for over 30 years. I was hoping that this product would improve my digestion, but alas it did not. I used all 30 tablets, but was unable to detect any effect of any kind. I would have given it only one star, but since it didn't hurt me, I decided to give it two. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Dreadful Review: It was a travesty when Smiley won the Pulitzer Prize for this dreadful book, an insipid soap opera masquerading as literature. Smiley bastardizes Shakespeare out of recognition when she turns King Lear into a movie of the week set in the plains of Iowa. Smiley decides to give the "Oprah" treatment to Shakespeare: she relocates the responsibility for Goneril and Regan's odious actions from their own sinister personalities (they are two of the Bard's greatest creations) to the Lear character, in this case a (gasp!) patriarch who (what else?) abused the girls as children. By the time you get to the scene in which the daughters, in a laughable excuse for dialogue, announce to each other, "He abused me!"--"Me too!", it's all too embarrassing for words.
