Title: An astonishing performance! Review: The story for which the book is titled, Rope Burns, is, indeed, an astonishing performance. And in all the stories every nuance is correct, authentic. Every piece of dialog frightenly accurate. Chillingly real. Toole has obviously heard these voices and altho like many Irish writers his stories are, well, not uplifting, they are incredible -- and moving -- slices of life. If you want to see, hear and feel what's it's like to hang out at the gym (not the spa or health club)and if you want to experience really good writing of this genre; read this book. Then take a shower. Is the review positive or negative?
(A).

Title: The story behind the ballad Review: Here is the story behind the Ballad of Moreta mentioned in the excellent Dragonsinger series.It is a gripping story of an influenza pandemic sweeping through a medieval society. In that, it is an excellent and worthy addition to the Dragonriders of Pern series.It is set prior to the time of Lessa and the familiar characters of previous books. Those books speak of a time of restoration, of rediscovery and of renaissance as changes sweep through Pern's society. In this book, that excitement is lost. If this book had never been published, the Pern cycle would not be damaged. In some ways, this story undermines the appeal of the Ballad of Moreta as the plot here disagrees with the story told by the ballad. However, this is small damage and this is a pleasant story of an earlier Pern that stands well on its own. Is the review positive or negative?
(A).
