Negative Positive
Title: It's fiction.
Review: This book is by a pseudonymous author at an unnamed college. Give me a break. He gets tenure in three years with no previous experience teaching in a college. I have been a teacher for 29 years, ten in a community college. While I sympathize with much of what he says and I do think that the book is well-written, the author is really playing that old game of ain't it a shame. He takes almost no responsibility for his poor teaching. After years of being a journalist, why does he think that his trip to the classroom would be a breeze? He's an elitist unwilling to do the heavy lifting required of a community college teacher.
Is the review positive or negative?
