Negative Positive
Title: Like slightly burnt popcorn
Review: This is a book for serious movie fans and those not easily offended. Basically this book is a collection of short essays he wrote as a movie critic. And while there were times I snorted out loud reading it, there were also boring times and a lot - I mean a lot - of swearing. I'm not enough of a movie fan to really get the full depth of this book, having not seen over 75% of the movies he talks about, but for a true movie connoisseur you will either love (if you agree with him) or hate (if you disagree with him) this book. It's also a book best read in small doses, and since they are just a collection of unrelated essays, that's easy enough to do. Reading it in one fell swoop gets tedious. True Believers was a far better book and a must-read for any sports fan.
Is the review positive or negative?
