Negative Positive
Title: Uninspiring and unfounded
Review: Sure, this book might strike any reader as chockful of "facts" and background research--but when a journalist starts to draw wild paralells between fast food and the life-long disenchantment of America's workers, between fast food and the rate of high-school drop-outs, and holding the fast food chains responsible for all and any negative socio-economic developments in the US since World War II, I can only begin to wonder whether Schlosser is even familiar with the concept of "argument by scenario" (telling a story that links unrelated incidents and situations and then pointing to the story itself as proof that the various conditions are related).Having greatly anticipated reading Schlosser's work, it left me nothing but greatly disappointed. The basis for both his arguments and his conclusions are often so weak and far-fetched that I can do nothing but shake my head in disapproval.
Is the review positive or negative?
