“The book offers a new perspective for advertising studies by locating itself within the context of both reception studies and discourse analysis. … Bullo offers an innovative approach to explaining the construction of evaluative stance in advertising reception and also successfully reveals the delicate complexity of sense-making discourse. … this book can be highly recommended to scholars interested in reception studies, discourse analysis, advertising practices and evaluation studies in general.” (Zhang Daqun, Discourse Studies, Vol. 18 (3), June, 2016)
