Negative Positive
Title: Not worth reading
Review: Ok, I went into this looking for a nice read, possibly by the producer of the tv show, Mr. King, and found myself trapped in a boring book. Unbelievable voice-for a supposed diary of a turn of the century sheltered wife, it winds up resorting to cheap tricks to make any attempt at hooking the reader--her unexpected lesbian yearnings for her assistant, stupid pop culture references to upcoming inventions, etc. Heavy handed. Drawn out. The same story over and over and over again. Pass this one by. It is rare that a television mini series is better than the book, but, in this case, there are few things worse than the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
