Negative Positive
Title: Tedious and uneven
Review: Why didn't the author just write a book about his novel approach to teaching actors and leave it out of this book? My husband and I both just flipped pages to get past the endless blah blah blah about acting. Had ZIP to do with the story. That riff and the Canadian director all very weak and unformed. We've been to Shanghai so it was interesting on that level. But the rest of it was tedious. Every once in a while the police detective said something that sounded like a glib American. Just not gonna happen. When I finished it, I had a visceral dislike for the whole thing. Why are the reviews negative? How about it's a poorly written, and strangely pretentious book. Based on his bio, a little too autobiographical?
Is the review positive or negative?
