Negative Positive
Title: Ameteurish
Review: Having lived in Alberta many years ago, I'm always looking for some great prairie writing, but I have to agree with the review below. Choke Hold sounded interesting from the descriptions I've read, but the novel rings hollow and without heart. The book comes across as more of an exercise from a creative writing class as opposed to a solid novel. With a wealth of other canuck writers, perhaps I'll look elsewhere for a slice of Canadian life.
Is the review positive or negative?
