Ques:Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Great story, not a great book Review: The story of Mary Pinchot Meyer is a lot more interesting than this book. Occasionally, the author tries to recreate scenes and conversations on a pretty slim set of facts, supposing what may have motivated very private people she never met.Oh, and Dean Acheson was not *Under-Secretary* of State! Did this woman read anything about diplomacy, the Cold War, or Washington society between 1940 and 1965? How could she and her copy editor not know that Dean Acheson was our Secretary of State, and a major figure in post-war Washington?Washington was a very exciting place to be -- but you won't get the full description of those times in this book. too bad. Answer:

Ans:Negative

Ques:Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: A disappointment Review: I believe fans will be terribly disappointed by the last of the series. The three chapters do little to advance the story; the descriptions are colorless, and the dialogue is flat. It is a mere caricature of the first twenty books. The only thing clear is that O'Brian made significant changes between his first draft and the last.As his handwriting is unreadable, the publisher shoould have added a transcription of all the text. As the first 20 books were a joy, this was a labor. Answer:

Ans:Negative

Ques:Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: One Of The Best Books Written By Kahn Review: This is perhaps the most underrated book written by Roger Kahn.From the opening pages where a Hollywood hack "mourns" the death of Marilyn Monroe, Kahn takes the reader on a touching journey of the life & times of Joe DiMaggio and Monroe.As much a history of the pop culture as it is a biography, Kahn touches all the bases on how both were drawn to each other's fragility, but their love was virtually doomed from the start.There are so many books that explore the couple for entertainment value only, as if Joe & Marilyn were living their lives in a drama on the large screen. Kahn addresses them as human beings who were not like the public personas created for consumption by fans or curious observers.It is truly a memory of love, but also a tragic tale on how those with apparantly so much ultimately are so alone at the end of the day. Answer:

Ans:Positive

Ques:Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Great Book Review: I am a catholic, and one of my favorite subjects is mariology. I personally find this book illuminating in the fact that for many years many (male) theologians have used the figure of the Virgin Mary to oppress women in many different ways.
