Negative Positive
Title: interesting
Review: I enjoyed this book very much, but have a few problems with it. It is definitely worth reading, but not for love of the ballad. There are a few plot inconsistancies, but those are easy to ignore, and not too bad compared to some books. In order to read it and enjoy it, you must disgregard any expectations of a wonderful retelling of the ballad, and read the book only for it's own literary value, which is great. There were things that could have been better explored, but the book on the whole rose above that. It was also inspirational to me to pursue my life-long love of English (which I just mangled horribly). Much as I love the book, I must say it was not the almost religious experience I had hoped for, and I find that Tam Lin still lacks a retelling to do it true justice.
Is the review positive or negative?
