Negative Positive
Title: It goes on & on & on-- & FINALLY it ends-honestly.
Review: This book doesn't hold a candle to Map of the World by Jane Hamilton, another Oprah recommendation. It is WAY too filled with unimportant details in a writing style that certainly is very easy to read but offers NOTHING noteworthy in it's style. Evil man comes into town and walks over people one by one, over and over and over again, ad nauseum. Is it actually possible that ALL these Vermonters were this naive back in the '50"s? I hardly think so, or they must have started adding IQ's to our water supply over the past 20- 30 years. Why did I read to the end? Good question. I guess cuz I paid good money for the book so I wanted to find something redeaming about it. Also I kept thinking maybe it would finally GO some place. which it didn't, although the last 100 pages are a bit more substantive, plot-wise. Forget this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
