question:
A Very Dull Read . It goes like this...hero muses, is followed, takes a meeting, phones, travels, phones, takes a meeting, travels, phones, takes a meeting, phones, travels, takes a meeting, etc, etc. If this is what makes for a good novel, it's all yours. I don't care if this is how they do it in real life in the CIA, it's damn dull reading. The real mystery with this novel is why it ever got good reviews
answer:
NEG


question:
Laurie Colwin's best ... I've read it half a dozen times . I am a huge fan of Laurie Colwin's writing, so I am baffled by the reviewers who didn't enjoy this book as much as I did.  To me, her writing is sophisticated yet very comfortable.  I can identify most with the main character in this particular book of hers as I also married a bit later in life and am trying to have a child despite being a little long in the tooth.  The longings Jane Louise has for the domestic bliss that other people in her life seem to have so easily are all too familiar.  This book will not hit you over the head with a message, and it does meander ... which is just like life for most of us.  And I for one sometimes enjoy a book that doesn't leave me with a headache.  Reading is so much like eating - balancing what's good for you with satisfying cravings for those things that aren't - and for me, Laurie Colwin's books are like hot tea with milk and sugar on a cold afternoon.  Grown up, but sweet and comforting - they always hit the spot.  And I still find myself in disbelief that there will be no more books by this great writer
answer:
POS


question:
Excellent resource for understanding a complicated issue. . Dr. Rydelnik has done an excellent job of synthesizing his study of history and the Bible to bring clarity to an often-unclear issue. This book gives the reader a good grasp on the history, development, and current state of the the land of Israel and the conflict with the Palestinians. It also provides us with an invaluable, clear presentation of what the Bible has to say on the issues of who can claim ownership of the land, and of Israel and the Arab states in prophecy. I highly recommend it to anyone who would like a better understanding of the Middle East conflict, beyond what the headlines tell you.
answer:

POS
