Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Something Entirely Different . This collection of short stories was given to me by a good friend. With one or two exceptions, it concerns women confronting decisions - from the most mundane to the fairly serious. What sets these stories apart, in addition to the fine writing style, are the decisions made by these women. They are never politically correct or predictable. At times the reader may find the direction taken by the author to be controversial, even uncomfortable. I know I asked myself during several stories, "Now why the heck would she do that?" I suspect that was the point being made by the author and what is the ultimate joy of the book - to force the reader to accept each character as independent of any predispositions by the reader.    The author uses sarcasm and more conventional humor where the average reader is least likely to expect it. She takes simple stories and sends them in unexpected directions. My favorite story in the collection was "I Thought You Said You Love Me", perhaps because it was the most conventional. That said, "Model Job" was just as enjoyable, but most unconventional.    Treat yourself to something different and read "Inside Out." The author is preparing to publish a volume of poetry, which should be a treat indeed!
Output (English): POS
