BORROWING A BOOK

laurance--Whose is this?

soony--It's mine.Why do you ask?

laurance--Could I borrow it?I've been wanting to read it.

soony--Be my guest,but I warn you.It's not as good as

they say.

laurance--What's the matter with it?

soony--Well,for one thing the plot is highly imporbable

and for another,the characters seem more like

paper dolls than people.

laurance--That's strange.Usually that author does a good

job of charcterization.I've read three of his

books and thought they were all well done.

soony--I've been a fan of his for a long time too,but he

really flubbed on this one!

laurance--What did the reviews say?

soony--They were mixed-some good,some bad.My review,bad!
