Title: Too many footnotes!
Product review: The persona of the fictional author - a Cambridge academician - probably explains why there are footnotes on practically every page of this novel, but instead of making the story more interesting, they drag down the action. I wish I could say I liked this book since I was looking forward to it, but I found it slow-moving and even kind of boring. I gave up after around 30 pages. I figure if a book doesn't grab me by then, I'll just move on.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
