Negative Positive
Title: Exercrable, patronizing drivel
Review: A friend recommended this book. Since I routinely read 10-15 books per week, I gulped it down . . . only to experience the mental equivalent of heartburn.After I finished the book, I felt sorry for Mr. Helfgott, not because of his emotional problems but because he's apparently married to an overcontrolling, patronizing, astrology lover. I wondered what unexplained dynamics in the relationship gave Mrs. Helfgott the power to decide what her husband should eat, chew, smoke, and do.I also came away from my reading quite perplexed, wondering what Mr. Helfgott's diagnosis was and what occurred during the many years of treatment that are glossed over in the text.I've never seen the movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
