Title: I Give Up
Review: I'm one-third of the way into the book, and I've decided not to spend any more time on it. Wooden characters, stilted dialogue, confusing sense of location and time...I give up. And at this point in a novel, I hope for at least a little of the "Can't put it down" feeling. Instead, upon each reading it was "I'll give it one more chance." I'm confused by all the glowing reviews, including my friend saying it was the best book she's ever read. Apparently the action picks up past where I am in the story, but writing style will still be the same, so I'm out.
Is the review positive or negative?
