Weakness 1: "He says whatever comes to mind, saying that his parents "would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them," The World Is Ours

Weakness 9: "This first page definitely has a very blunt and common elevation to it, along with being literal and precise during this first page." The Lurking Times

Weakness 6: "As the passage goes on, the author uses phrases like "He's got a lot of dough" and "they're also touchy as hell" to make it feel as though the narrator is just another regular kid who is telling you a story." JimmehFTW

Weakness 2: Baker describes his surroundings as "towering volumes of marble and glass" and "long glossy highlights to each of the black rubber handrails". To Kill A Mockingjay

 Best Responce: "In the excerpt from The Mezzanine  by Nicholson Baker, he writes with an elevated refinement that is both dignified and straight-forward." Happy Go Lucky
