Negative Positive
Title: Okay
Review: The early reviewer who mentioned that most of the people who read it were forced to read it for a Middle Eastern unit in 7th Grade. How could this person be so right? (That is exactly the reason I read it.)My entire social studies/english class found it dull, and couldn't wait for it to be over. This is not the usual reaction from my class, as we enjoyed the book we read previously: "The Cage". (Why is it that books on 7th grade reading lists are so DEPRESSING?)However, "Shabanu" just wasn't good enough! The plot was okay, and the storyline was okay except it was a little slow. The story had a moral, but if you think about it, the real moral is to keep your feelings locked inside you...and isn't that what your parents are always advising you not to do?If you are really interested in the Pakistani culture, read this book. If you want to read a good book, look somewhere else!!
Is the review positive or negative?
