Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing experience
Review: You would think the author of a vegetarian cookbook would understand the definition of "vegetarian," but Anna Thomas doesn't seem to. I was happily thumbing through my copy, when in the middle I had a rude discovery: a spread on how to carve a turkey. The author explains its presence away by asserting that even vegetarians won't want to pass up a turkey now and then! Um, what?It's pretty off-putting to people who are vegetarian for ethical reasons, myself included, to come across a turkey-carving spread when any reasonable reader would assume we're on on meat-free turf (having been lulled into this belief by the title). Turkey carving instructions have no place in a vegetarian cookbook, and the spread ruined the book for me, turning it into something I never would have wanted had I been afforded full knowledge of its contents before buying it.
Is the review positive or negative?
