Negative Positive
Title: Tedious and Pretentious
Review: This man, rather than truly informing us, prefers to try to impress us with how much more learned and knowledgeable he is than we are. He leads us down totally irrelevant alleys (mostly to drop names), and the whole thing is in no way coherent, so that we don't get a real sense of how everything goes together - just the confusion that the British are so fond of promulgating. Who the HELL was his editor?I'm fairly well read, but I think his audience is a crowd of Oxford University English Lit PhD candidates.
Is the review positive or negative?
