Negative Positive
Title: simplistic
Review: I didn't care for this book, much, as I found the examples and explanations overly simplified. While the book is based on research (interviews), I found that the examples given were often somewhat extreme examples and didn't readily apply to my, apparently more benign, situations. This book lacked a depth of explanation and came across, at times, as clinical. For a topic that is so frought with emotion, the book failed to capture the true essence of betrayal, hurt, conflict, etc. in friendships. I did find a few research based facts enlightening. And reading the book did, at least, provide motivation to look at some of my friendships and former friendships. However, I didn't feel the book provided me with much new insight, factual information, or coping strategies.
Is the review positive or negative?
