Negative Positive
Title: Major disappointment!
Review: I know that one should not take a serious writer's style for granted (and Lawrence Block is certainly a serious writer), but I have always looked to Mr. Block for something other than what was offered in his latest work. Since the publishing world seemed to think it was a book worth reading, I guess I am just too provincial to appreciate all the gratuitous, kinky sex in "A Small Town". From now on, I think I will check out Mr. Block's books from my library...at least, when I put it down, unfinished, I do not have to regret wasting both my money and my time.
Is the review positive or negative?
