[Q]: Poor excuse for a thriller . Rising Sun was a terrible read. Crichton uses one device throughout: the old hand knows everything an hour before the young guy and slowly reveals it to him. It's tiring and monotonous. Never mind the even more monotonous lectures on the differences between American and Japanese business cultures.
[A]: NEG

[Q]: Danielle Give me a break . My husband has a theory that Danielle Steel has a dart board and each circle surrounding the center is labeled either, falls in love, loses family member, has death of loved-one,fights for life of herself or loved one, loses partner,business or spouse. He feels when she is at a loss she justs throws off a dart and whatever she hits becomes the outline for her next book. I have been a loyal fan for many many years and take his kidding with a smile and secretly pray he's not right. This book proved me wrong and he was right all these years. It was so obvious from the first few pages what was happening that I was certain I had read this story before somewhere. After having waited long time to get this book from my local library I was so disappointed that it was so poorly written and so badly not thought through I couldn't even read it completely, but skipped sections to finish it, knowing what was going to happen before I got to it.
[A]: NEG

[Q]: A step back . I have been reading this book for a graduate level Art Education course. In this book Kochman makes many broad generalizations that, while he may consider them true, are belied by the way he phrases them. He makes many absolute statements about the behaviors of both black people and white people and the way in which he writes leaves no room for deviation. I would recommend this book if you are curious about why racism is still a problem in this country. The problem of racism will only begin to be alleviated when people stop making broad statements that stereotype races or cultures as behaving in a particular way. Kochman does not seem to realize this
[A]:
NEG
