Title: A very uneven novel
Product review: The New York Times review was right. I found the first third of this novel dull and plodding, the middle section quite good, and the last third poorly edited and at times unreadable. It was if the novel had been written by two different authors--one who was in command of the subject matter (the middle third) and one who desperately needed a strong editor to help shape her writing (the rest of the book).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
