Ex Input:
Novel goes nowhere, can't believe this won something . Talk about a waste of time! I was wondering if it was just me so I asked several friends who dutifully read this prize winner and they said they could barely get through it. It is boring, tells you instead of shows you, hyperactively jumps around the timeline like a flea and provides no payoff at all. I also found the protrayal of the grandmother's flirtation with Islam to be shallow, un-informed, unbelievable and ultimately dismissive. Don't waste your time on this or your money. Luckily I had picked it up at a book sale for $0.25, about what it was worth

Ex Output:
NEG

Ex Input:
Readalbe but junky . Timeline is equivalent to a 99 cent taco. It's an indulgent bit of junk food. Timeline starts with a Hillerman-esque scientist turning up in the middle of New Mexico - an intriguing idea, but goes to the land of mediocracy right after that filled with cartoon characters. There are so many preposterous story elements that it's just really difficult to take seriously. The story is ever-predictable and ludicrous. But, a 99 cent taco is worth the effort if you're real hungry. Go back and read Andromeda Strain.

Ex Output:
NEG

Ex Input:
Great premise, unfulfilled, but not for lack of pages . I read this after enjoying Iles' "Footprints of God" quite a bit. This is his first work and thank goodness he has since learned to be more concise. The book is lengthy, and repeats itself quite a bit (due, I assume to the length and complexity of the plot and characters). Several characters could've been cut out entirely - they were in long enough to kill and be killed, but didn't add anything to the story. Intriguing characters, too - he could've saved them for their own stories. After wanting to get to the end for the last 200 pages, I found the ending itself rushed. All loose ends were wrapped up very conveniently and in ways that didn't pay off for the investment of time required to get that far. There were some aggravating teases, too. When the Israeli finally gets to confront the Nazi for the question of "why?" (regarding the anti-semitism), I was really hoping that Iles would've ventured a reply - anything to try and give the Nazi character some depth or plausibility other than just pure hate for the sake of hate. Nope - he put the question out there and didn't try to answer it. That's what I was hoping for - replace some of the graphic violence with real explorations of the underlying themes and how this fanaticism really survives - not just giving example after example of how it's manifested. All that being said, the last page of the epilogue is brilliant, and in it, I found a simple yet profound statement that struck a chord.
