Title: slight pause before purchase
Product review: i've got a sister who's lived in LA for more than 6 years. i'm looking for a guide to help heighten her appreciation for the place and help her uncover some yet undiscovered treasures. this book appealed on the surface and many of the reviews were positive. sad to say, upon reading some excerpts, i found the book to be crass, bawdy and distasteful, given the prospective recipient.this book is perfect for the cynical, 'porky's revenge' type person on your list. the one who's not put off by bad taste remarks made about every 'recommended' spot. granted, i should have been warned by the title. but i wanted to be educated, enlightened and amused by what i read. not completely turned off. not for the light of heart, or those looking for positive spin on LA.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
