Question: What a waste! . This author has so much talent and paints the most exquisite pictures with words but the plot of this book was so fragmented, disorganized and unfocused that it distracted from his lovely writing style. I wasn't sure if the book was about Jack the Ripper, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Carol, losing a child, hauntings, possession, redemption or all of the above because it kept going off in different directions.  The relationships between the characters were confusing and the characters were never very well developed.  Worst of all, it just fell off at the end with no resolution.  Sometimes this works but it didn't work with this book.  Very disappointing

Answer: NEG


Question: Overrated book by overrated Genius . This book is highly overrated. I am sure I will get blown away for saying this but it has nothing to do with my appreciation of modern writing. I enjoy Joyce, and many avant garde writers. Stein has an ego as big as a house. Witness her constant comments about herself as a genius in the Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. The literary equivalent of Picasso she is not.  The book is slow and boring, filled with failed, in my opinion, rhetorical tricks. If you want stream of consciousness avant garde writing there are many better writers, Joyce being the best.  Jack Kerouac is a newer author who is great also. I found it difficult to finish this book.  It did not keep my attention. I basically find all the praise for her as both a writer and an individual vastly out of proportion to her talent. It would be helpful if those writers and academicians who are full of praise for her would perhaps write some articles that are readable saying exactly why she is a genius.

Answer: NEG


Question: SPECULATIVE FICTION DISGUISED AS ESSAY . What trash! What a paranoid book! A true work of tendentious and speculative fiction disguised as an essay.     No wonder that Amazon stands ready to sell this book for $0.35! Even then, it's a quarter and a half wasted. No wonder also that warmongers Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle gave it a note of thanks. It reads like their own propaganda in their conspiracy to take over American foreign policy and steer it to Israel's favor.    But the Mylroie-Wolfowitz-Perle cabal DID succeed in having the U.S. attack Iraq. This only shows the tremendous importance of propaganda and the strength of the pro-Israel lobby. Nazi Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, would be proud of Laurie Mylroie, since he  once said: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

NEG
