Negative Positive
Title: No, no, no
Review: I usually write reviews only for books I really like as I read only the books I like --I dont' have time for the others, which I can usually tell aren't worth my time by the book jackets (no, I don't go by reviews, etc.) "Fraught with" is a sure-fire phrase to keep me away. I thought I would like this novel --but I didn't. And it wasn't the author's way with characters, which is very good --it was the plot, which didn't make sense. (Maybe I am too old), which is a failing in a reviewer. And it isn't that this novel is truly bad, a la Danielle Steele, etc. But it is very disappointing. The story just didn't hang together. I agree with reviewer DeBacker who said that a much better accout of collegiate life is found in Richard Russo's "Straight Story".
Is the review positive or negative?
