The Rise and Fall of the Horror Film

Summary: Unfounded my buttox.. Soren knows his stuff ;-)
Review: ...The book isn't the be all end all that some claim, nor is it a horrible book. The important thing is that as a reference and a general introduction to some of the historical topics in this field it is good. As to those who claim Soren makes unfounded claims, maybe you should check his credentials. The man has both a Masters and a PhD from Harvard, and has had more prestigeous positions in art and archeology than you ever will in your lifetime. Last I checked, that makes him a bit more of an authority than some...

Summary: What a lie, previous reviewer must be inept..
Review: I am not sure what is wrong with the previous reviewer, but Dr. Soren's book is nothing but the best, written by the best. Dr. Soren doesn't deserve this kind of crude review after all the work he has done to put out this book for his students and others to enjoy. Please don't let the previous reviewer keep you away from this great book.

Review: I would agree with the last two that the first reveiwer is a bit harsh, but it isn't a very good book. As both of the reviewers are from Tucson, I would guess that they know or have Dr. Soren as a professor and feel an obligation to give his book high marks. The book is full of errors and is not particularly well written. As course notes, it may be a handy resource, In fact I suspect that this book is just a typed version of his lectures. As fun or educational reading, it's a snore.
