Title: The Devil Writes Chick-Lit
Review: Lauren Weisen-whatever cannot write. Period. She has zero technique. Five pages into this pulp and I knew I had a labor on my hands. I only deigned to read it because the movie was tolerable. The book is not. And that's because she CANNOT write. Cannot. The proof is in the pudding, folks: she's the only author I've ever seen who does not pass what I call "The Amazon Test" (this occurs when a book has multiple reviews; there are always, ALWAYS more five-star reviews for that book than any other star rating, usually combined). With all the five-star reviews on Amazon, you'd think every book ever written was A Farewell To Arms or something.Anyway, I digress. This is the only author I've ever seen whose books do not have a five-star review majority. It's not even good for chick-lit, which itself is a watery genre. I've got nothing else to say, so in the words of Meryl Streep: "that's all."
Is the review positive or negative?
