Negative Positive
Title: A fine example of boring
Review: Hackneyed and overblown, and lacking any characters of interest, originality or wit. Has chapter titles like "Synthesis 9: Lausanne". A reader who doesn't grin at that may enjoy this book, otherwise not.I only read it because Jute wrote a not-very-good book about how to write, and mentioned this book of his as an example. I wanted to see his qualifications, and they are weak, except as an encouraging example that you need not be a good writer to get published.
Is the review positive or negative?
