Negative Positive
Title: J.P. Balogh
Review: Less would have been more. I am one of those readers, who does not believe that the more complex the story, the more worth it is. The idea for this novel is excellent and it could have been a remarkable book, but it is not. The intent of the author is obvious (too obvious), but not quite convincing. Anna's diary, quaint and very much late 19th century, saves the novel from becoming a tedious harangue. My initial interest flagged after a while, and I found myself skipping pages until I came to a secion in italics.
Is the review positive or negative?
