Ok heres the Big Question. Is it worth the money or should i wait till i can find a used copy and pay half price?

24

have you read my review?

If you’re short on money, I’d advise you to get D.K. Holm’s book, its shorter, cheaper, and even better. if you have more money at your disposal go for Bernard, Smith or Dawson maybe, although I haven’t read Dawson.

But Page is really easy to read though, and quite simple in its analysis… so maybe that might be an option. amazon sells lots of used copies, but i think anything under 15 bucks is fair

I have finally got a copy of Quintessential Tarantino and am about halfway through it (just past the pictures in the middle.) I have to say it is very disappointing. Edwin Page’s language makes it feel as if he is speaking down to you as if you are 6 years old. And what is up with those annoying little ‘Pulp Facts’ they are pretty basic. Also he uses the word ‘juxtaposition’ far too much. I will stick with it 'til the end however and post a full review when I have done so!

yeah I agree his language isn’t up to the level you’d expect from someone who’s writing a movie analysis. but this can be an advantage for people who have trouble with “higher” english :wink:
