DIALOG 23

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!
