Negative Positive
Title: Junk Food for the Mind
Review: When I walked past this book in the store, it caught my eye. Like so many people, I have problems with my weight - and with my relationships. A couple of years ago I read Gary Smalley's "The Five Love Languages" and found it to be very sensible and helpful. So, based on my respect for Gary Smalley's name, I bought the book. Well... I was very dissappointed. After wading through the first 30 pages of fluff, I began to get the the "meat" of the matter and found it to be just a jumble of unscientific, unsubstantiated diet cliches.Now, I have no evidence of this, but I suspect that this book was concieved by the publisher, written by somebody else (which Dr. Smalley admits), and published under Smalley's well-respected name to boost it's sales. Just the title alone puts it into two genera which generally sell well. Many may buy it, but I suspect that few will find it useful.
Is the review positive or negative?
