• Capote directed by Bennett Miller (2005)

  [8/10]

  "Bennett Miller does an excellent job creating an overall tone and mood in Capote that simultaneously evokes the 1950s but also stays subtle enough to work as a canvas for Capote's character."

• DocBook: The Definitive Guide by Norman Walsh, Leonard Muellner (1999)

  [6/10]

  "DocBook provides a markup language that tags text based on content rather than on final appearance."

• Novel, The by James A. Michener (1991)

  [6/10]

  "Michener provides an interesting and detailed description of the publishing business from the points of view of fictional characters who are pivotal in bringing books to life: the writer, the editor, the critic, and the reader."

• Quills directed by Philip Kaufman (2000)

  [6/10]

  "So how do you make a movie that documents the life or works of the Marquis de Sade, the person from whom we get the word sadism? Quills answers this question with, 'You don't,' but you can piggy-back your movie on his reputation."

• Romancing the Stone directed by Robert Zemeckis (1984)

  [7/10]

  "The overall plot is fairly predictable, but the romantic and comedic elements mesh together well and create a light and funny story with just enough suspense to keep the story interesting."
