Honesty is the best policy PhotoJim Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 02:05:03 PM
But certainly not the only policy. There is always the lying, cheating, and above mentioned murder ploy.

I'd go with honesty here. Don't forget to serve your portion with a whole helping of tact. "I just couldn't get into it. I've heard it's good from several people and I'm disappointed I didn't like it more." Bringing along something that you like a great deal is also a good choice.

Do try to avoid condescencion or snobbery. "How could you read this sh1t? What kind of moron are you?" are phrases to avoid.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

Not to be rude but who are you? And I suppose equally important, where are we?
