Is this product review positive? Title: Not like my old ones Review: Disappointing is the word I'd use to describe this purchase. I had a pair of identical shoes that were about 8 years old. They were pretty worn but I had enjoyed wearing them so much I bought them again.The leather on this shoe is not nearly as soft. Also, there was so much shoe polish on the shoes that it seeps through the leather and if you wear light-colored socks for more than a couple of hours you will take off a pair of socks with brown shoe polish all over them. I've ruined two pairs of socks already thinking that it was just a slight remnant of the assembly process.I'm going to wear them a few more times in hopes that the leather softens up and the polish diminishes but I've already worn them for about 40 hours and there has been little improvement to either problem. Answer:

Answer: No


Is this product review positive? Title: Pretentious Review: Although I have enjoyed some of Doctorow's previous works, such as "Ragtime" and "Billy Bathgate", I struggled to even finish this disappointing work. Doctorow changes points of view so often and unpredictably in the book that it was sometimes baffling to read. In the end I felt that the author was simply trying to show us how much smarter he is than the rest of us and was suffering from a serious case of pretentiousness. Answer:

Answer: No
