Negative Positive
Title: Shiftless
Review: I was really hopeful about this book, because I didn't know anything really about Mennonites or Manitoba and I was interested in both. But it was disappointing. Maybe it's reflective of the nature of the place, but these people are just kind of wandering around, and I really lost interest in them in a hurry. I did make it all the way through...I had taken it on vacation with me and was determined to read it to the end. But it left me with a real sense of dullness.Also, what is up with the annoying trend of not using quotation marks? Maybe it makes a statement in some avant-garde writing sense, but to me it just seems sloppy.
Is the review positive or negative?
