Negative Positive
Title: Feed Me, Seymour!
Review: It's been 13 years between his first, great book ("A Simple Plan") and this, his second, and all Scott Smith could come up with is a retread of the musical "Little Shop of Horrors" minus the songs and jokes. The laughs in this book are, I'm certain, completely unintentional. Are we seriously supposed to get the chills over the threat of a killer weed? I'm not sure what grand theme Mr. Smith is attempting to illuminate here. Can it be that the vine is a metaphor for his many fans who, no doubt, will feel utterly disappointed about Mr. Smith's pointless, nihilistic story?
Is the review positive or negative?
