Negative Positive
Title: very breezy
Review: It's nice to read a book on a potentially technical subject that is written in a more colloquial manner. The author of this book has taken that too far, though. The book is interesting in places and seems at least somewhat well researched, but the style is simply too cute, and distracts the reader with irrelevant (often autobiographical) side stories that seem to be written for people who would rather not be reading a book on this topic in the first place. I would like to think that, buried in her writing, there must be a pony somewhere, but I don't think it's worth the trouble of digging it up.
Is the review positive or negative?
