Title: Highly Disappointing
Review: I was eager to read this book after reading the reviews, and knowing it was a Booker finalist. I found it so disappointing that I gave up about a third of the way through it. I found the plots implausible, the characters 2 dimensional, and the poetic descriptions of Egypt beautiful but pretentious. I also agree with other reviewers that the use of Arabic was distracting, and came across as the author trying to prove her superiority to the reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
