Title: A "Putter Downer"
Review: This is a book that I really wanted to like, but after 50 pages found myself unmotivated to pick up. It kept sitting on my end table crying out, "don't you have something better to do?" I know this sounds silly, but it is really a quite accurate representation of how you will feel reading the book.The characters are hyperbolic and stereotypical, and generally unbelievable. The story is trite and predictable. The one good point about this book is that Christian Balling writes in a style that is easy to read. If Mr. Balling can provide his audience with more intriguing characters and plot, I think he will sell some books. Because of this, I gave the book 2 stars for writing style.I tend to be a reader that gives a book 50 pages before moving on. There are so many good books in the market to read that I am not anxious to spend more than 50 pages on an unforgettable novel. This was such a novel. I moved on to something else, and you will too.
Is the review positive or negative?
