Title: "Not even a nun on the cover?" Puh-leeze!
Review: "A Reader" complains that the cover depicts a "sister" rather than a nun on the cover, adding: "What a blunder!" Clearly "Reader" him- or herself needs to read a little harder. The book's introduction says: "I use the terms 'nun,' 'sister,' 'consecrated woman' and 'religious' interchangeably, although there are differences according to Church canonical law." (For the layperson, "nuns," strictly speaking, are members of religious orders, usually monastic, whereas "sisters" are members of religious congregations, generally working among the people.) It would be nice if the authors of such comments would take the trouble to look at the text as well as the cover, before rushing onto the Web to show us all how clever they are.
Is the review positive or negative?
