....have been asked regarding my literary rating formulae, namely:
"Did you find that the 'Rough Guide to Cornwall and Dorset' had you Laughing Hysterically more than it induced Uncontrollable Crying?"
The 'Rough Guide to Cornwall and Dorset' induced neither LH or UC for me, mainly due to the characters seeming rather transparent, invisible almost. However, it made up for the lack of LH and UC by way of OER's (Other Emotional Responses) which were prompted by the descriptions of locations; they sounded almost real! Thus, such OER's as "Phwoar, gorgeous beaches!", "Hmmm, you can almost smell the freshly caught mackeral!" and "Suntanned surfer chicks in wetsuits....(Cue Homer impression) gurgle...gurgle..." tended to come more to the fore within this literary genre.
