question:
old-fashioned elitist boredom . This is a fairly helpful book for those born before the '70s-- a time when "a yarn" wasn't an archaic term. Does it give some helpful hints? Sure, there's the obvious ones like show don't tell and all characters have free will. But fiction has changed a lot since Henry James (thankfully), and this book might be better left unread. Plus, I don't buy the "only people who aren't well-read don't like it" argument. I've read nearly all the books mentioned and I still wish I never bought this book
answer:
NEG

question:
Delightfully Delicious . Not only does Kathy Casey's Northwest Table have delightfully delicious recipes it is a great read. The photos are amazing and remind me how grateful I am to live here in the Northwest. I look forward to using each recipe. The articles along with the recipes give me further insight on the food I am preparing, helping me to better understand food and to be a more educated chef! She has a unique artistic talent that should be shared with all!
answer:
POS

question:
Shocked. Stunned. Horrified. . I realize that Patterson is known for his exciting, page-turning reads. I realize that he is famous for the relentless pace of his novels. And, most importantly, I realize that he is famous for stunning twists at the endings of lots of his books. Keeping all that in mind, I have to say that I was shocked and hurt by the, well, absolutely horrifying surprise ending to this book. To say it came at me out of left field would be a massive understatement. It's more like I was standing at home plate in Dodger stadium and was hit by a ball thrown from left field in Yankee Stadium. Truthfully, I never saw it coming. And I was horrified by it. I finished the last pages with my mouth hanging open. And I feel betrayed as well. I realize that twist endings happen often, especially when it comes to Patterson, but I DID NOT LIKE this one. I felt hurt by it. Putting that aside, it was a good read overall, which is why I give it 2 stars instead of one
answer:
NEG
