dialogue: M: Whose book is this? W: It's mine. Why do you ask? M: Could I borrow it? I've been wanting to read it. W: Certainly, but I warn you. It's not as good as they say. M: What's the matter with it? W: Well, for one thing, the story is poorly constructed. And the characters in the story are more like paper dolls than living people. M: That's strange. Usually that writer does a good job. I've read four of his books and thought they were all well done. W: I've enjoyed reading his books, but he failed this time. M: What did the review say? W: They were mixed-- some good, some bad. My review, bad!
