Amazing book reviews

med_cat: (Default)
Another book by an author whose book I'd come upon by chance, a couple of years ago, in the Little Free Library, and enjoyed. A collection of essays, somewhat akin to Montaigne's or Robert Fulghum's.

"Look Inside" is, of course, not available, as it's an older, out-of-print book.

Review #1: Five stars. Very inspiring and uplifting.

Review #2: One star. Spare me. Vastly rich shallow lady writes drivel about her religious fervor.

Review #3: Five stars. A library keeper. I think this is a most enjoyable book. It is inspirational and uplifting.

...whom does one believe?! ;)

(in case you're wondering, the author is Faith Baldwin, and the book reviewed is "Face Toward the Spring." The one I'd read is "Evening Star".)

Bonus review bit: a review for a bookseller:

"This book either had to be printed after ordering and the ink had to dry or it was shipped on a slow boat from China. It took 11 days to travel 1,100 miles. Hmmmmm . . . 100 miles per day. The book could have walked faster by itself."

:P

I'd believe both. Drivel written by a shallow rich lady is bound to be inspirational and uplifting to someone.
