Title: tripe; an obvious outline for a screenplay
Product review: I purchased this book on the recommendation of a saleslady in a bookstore. Bad decision! Poorly written (yesterday night?!), banal characterization and tear-jerking emotional manipulation are the features of this slight effort. No doubt Mr. Sparks had the screenrights pre-sold; no doubt he has (just) enough for a two-hour movie, but this really is a triumph of marketing over substance. Is his first one any better? If so, he should retire..the trends are not with him.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
