Negative Positive
Title: Ick.
Review: A semi-pretentious friend of mine recommended this book to me. I should have seen it coming.Tried to read it, got through about three hundred pages, and still mourn the time I wasted trying (as well as the tree that gave its life for the printing)...This is book is boring in an "epic" sense of the word. And I don't just that "it didn't entertain me". I mean that it's a monument of sterile self-indulgence, vacant pretention, and pathological wordiness. Somehow I can't help but see it as a symbol of the excesses of our times: 800 pages about nothing, and people praise it.You might like it, but don't say you weren't warned.
Is the review positive or negative?
