Negative Positive
Title: What a waste of time!!!
Review: I was surprised to learn that one of Oprah's Book Club picks was Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon. I wrote my thesis on Morrison's novels and am a huge fan of her writing. I figured that Oprah might be on to something, here, and so I decided to pursue The Deep End of the Ocean. After all, it was holding its own on the bestseller's list.Little did I know the nightmare I was in for. This novel was so bad, I rushed to finish it just so I could put it out of sight and bemoan the amount of time I had squandered while reading it. Not only was the book completely unbelievable, without the benefit of science fiction thrills and chills, but the timing was pathetically slow, the characters, unrealistic and obtuse (and in Beth's case, melodramatic in the extreme), the dialogue, slow. I'm scared to think that this is what the American majority wants in its fiction. I wonder what Toni Morrison would say.
Is the review positive or negative?
