Title: Unmitigated Crap
Review: I picked up this book because the title and first few pages enticed me. I made it halfway through before I threw it against a wall in frustration. The prose is horrendous. Boyd spells out absolutely everything, leaves nothing to the readers imagination. We are constantly being told the state of affairs in the book. It's a very blunt style, absolutely no grace or subtlety in the narrative. The characters are stereotypical. The problems are trite. There is nothing fresh about the story or the style of writing. I couldn't belive this quality of work could be published. I'd be impressed if anyone that enjoys quality literature could actually make it to the end of this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
