Negative Positive
Title: A feel-good book that actually felt good to read.
Review: I have a secret soft spot for Terry McMillan's books, even though I have to say that I roundly dislike much of the other books in this category. She writes with an infectious energy, eye for detail, and sense of character that is nearly impossible to dislike. I don't mind the emotional manipulation because it feels well-meant and in the end it's both satisfying and effective. I enjoyed reading this book.Minor quibbles: while I liked the device of the letters, it was a bit *too* pat; the pacing felt off in the second half of the book-- moved too quickly to its conclusion somehow.
Is the review positive or negative?
