Negative Positive
Title: Rice badly in need of an editor!
Review: <I>The Witching Hour</I> could have been cut into a novel of 300 or so pages and suffered no ill effects. There are pages and pages of repetitive description and dialogue. The ending is pathetic. To her credit, the book does have some interesting portions, particularly the early part of the "book-within-a-book" history section. If you read <I>The Witching Hour</I>, be prepared to skim large sections of it. All in all, and ignoring the weak ending, it would have been quite a good book if cut to a third of it's current length.
Is the review positive or negative?
