Negative Positive
Title: One of the worst books that I have read.
Review: The best thing about this book is the title and the cover illustration. Toure is ANOTHER African-American writer who seems ill at ease with being an African-American; so he delves in the enormous bucket of Black Cultural Stereotypes to people his lackluster stories, all in the name of being hip. From fried chicken to [lusty] preachers to athletics, there is no Black cliche beneath Toure and his word processor. The entire book read as if it were written by a really dorky guy looking at a cool party through a window. He wasn't that good when he wrote for Rolling Stone, and he is even worse here. Whomever decided to give him his book deal needs to recoup their advance and have him try again.
Is the review positive or negative?
