Title: fascinating characters but weak writing and plot
Product review: This could be a fascinating story of two characters whose lives were devoted to writing a dictionary. But, while Minor's life is sketched, the author writes too much speculation about his motivations. The few incidents known about his life are stretched into a full length book when a pamphlet would have sufficed. The style is repetitive and sensational. Apparently the author didn't read what he wrote in the previous chapter, or he wrote them out of order because each repeats what was said earlier.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
