Negative Positive
Title: Not bad, not bad at all
Review: Let's cover the negative stuff first. By the time I reached the last 1/4 of the book, I could care less about a cave or anybody that wanted to be in one. I don't know what editors get paid, as far as salaries nowadays, but I know this one got paid too much, for Allison definitely needed an editor. A good editor. Cavedweller had the tendency to drag on. Allison, in spots, repeated herself.That said...I still liked the book, a lot. Delia and Cissy are stand out characters. Dede is a pistol. The plot was realistic. Cavedweller also displayed Allison's wonderful sense of humor, such as the transformation of Nadine. And that wonderful line where Tacey, a young black woman tells Cissy, "My daddy always said that white folks are simply crazy. He also said that black folks are crazy too, but we aren't simple." *LOL* You gotta love it.This was my first time reading Allison. It won't be my last.
Is the review positive or negative?
