Negative Positive
Title: Total Waste
Review: I was looking forward to this book and, as I was reading it, became increasingly disgusted. Ms. Child was bright, exuberant, gracious, and courageous. Her marriage and friendships were positive and loving. All in all, even apart from her influence on cooking/eating, she was a worthwhile person in every respect.Ms. Powell is a self-indulgent, whiny, neurotic and colossally boring brat. She treats little annoyances like world disasters, she is a miserable spouse and friend, and she revels in her self-indulgent immaturity. For her to exploit the life/name of Ms. Child is a travesty and it is a shame that she made a dime doing it.I immediately re-read the wonderful "Appetite for Life" after wading through Ms. Powell's dreck and nothing could have more clearly emphasized what an utter waste Ms. Powell's book was. She expressed dismay that Ms. Child was negative about her blog--my guess is that Ms. Child would have been understandably disgusted with Ms. Powell whatever her topic.
Is the review positive or negative?
