Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Danger ** Beware of Foreign Translations Review: The Alchemist is a great book originally written in Portugese. Looking for a third party bargain as a gift, I wound up with a copy marked "For sale only on the Indian sub-continent". The translation was meant for a different culture and missed many of the nuances of the western/Amercian/English translation. It was terrible. I couldn't give that as a gift and returned it and bought the full priced edition to be sure that I received the American version. Answer:

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: No Big Deal Review: No better, no worse than any other fantasy novel. This means generally poorly conceived and much of the characterization and actions are re-tellings of decades-old tales.Main character is a joke. Starts as an prostitute who has somehow become an amazing singing mage, but then later she becomes so beautiful that people are stunned by her. Also, at this time she starts acting wide-eyed and ignorant for some reason.Her side-kicks are equally stupid and un-explained. Divine powers in combat, such as slaying enemies from miles away with odd projectile weapons or gracefully wiping out everyone in hand-to-hand combat without breaking a sweat.So if you read and enjoy most modern fantasy novels this equally trashy book might be for you.

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Weak story, naive backdrop Review: I'm not much of a Heinlein fan, and finally read this book for the first time since it is a 'classic'. In a word, it's dull. While The Moon is a Harsh Mistress at least has an entertaining narrative style and protagonist, Stranger is told in meandering third person. The book cascades from one small-and-easily-surmounted challenge to the next (only the first of the book's five parts has any real tension), with plenty of implied sex along the way. Heinlein's presentation of female empowerment while still treating them like sex objects is creepy. And as always his notion of free enterprise and the self-reliant man is naive at best, self-serving at worst. Smith's adjustment to his human heritage is the book's high point, although it doesn't wear well 40 years later. Answer:
