Negative Positive
Title: Painless but thin and surprisingly sloppy
Review: I have nothing in particular against mindless fluff -- heck, I certainly didn't buy a book with a cover like this one's looking for an intellectual exercise --and by most standards this novel is pretty harmless. But in a book that purports to be narrated by a Hollywood insider, would it be asking too much that the names of mainstream celebrities at least be spelled correctly? Jane "Krakowsky"? "Courteney" Love? Milla "Jovovic"? Oh, and my personal favorite two-for-one blooper, "Toby McGuire"? Those were merely the ones I noticed in two adjacent paragraphs on the same page. Elsewhere there's a reference to the painter Marc "Chagal" and another to actor "Darin" McGavin. Never mind the other typos and errors such as the sentence in which two characters got into a limo and "road [sic] down the hill." Did I mention all the above are within the first 80 pages? I'm by no means a professional copy reader. Neither is the editor of this book, by all appearances.
Is the review positive or negative?
