Negative Positive
Title: Quack, quack!!
Review: Something smells fishy here. I too read this featherweight bit of quasi-scholarship and can hear the author in my mind's ear, only what I hear is alternately shrill and smarmy. There is a self-satisfied and sanctimonious tone to this text, and given its narrowness of content and limited insight, the tone is most peculiar. I originally picked up the book with the notion that it was a parody. (Stupid of me not to notice the publisher!) I can only say, I wish it had been a parody. But perhaps the good doctor's review of it is the parody I was looking for.
Is the review positive or negative?
