Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing/Sad/Depressing
Review: I was so pleased to read other reviews of this novel that echoed my own opinions, formed while reading -- and ultimately throwing -- the book. While I understand the importance of the "shared human experience" this is not the type of story I want to read in the few precious quiet-time moments I have for reading. Where is entertainment, laughter, joy in this book? Marie may be strong but her life of unremitting disappointments and struggle and screaming at her children (what is that about?) is not what makes me happy to belong to the family of man. Sorry I agree with another reviewer who said this may be my last Oprah recommended read
Is the review positive or negative?
