Negative Positive
Title: Boring
Review: I read a positive review of this series and figured I'd like it. A strong, smart middle-aged heroine, Southern setting, a little bit of romance. Sadly, I was very disappointed. The writing was mediocre. I also found the privileged lives of Bay Tanner and her "ladies who lunch" friends to be extremely uninteresting. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters and gave up halfway through the book. Bay was far from a sassy no-nonsense heroine. She complained a lot, and seemed continually petulant. The kiss of death for me was the description of one of the (white) main characters as "exotic," "Oriental," with "slanting eyes" seemingly just because she has black hair. Oooh, black hair! Soooo exciting. What painfully boring lives these people live.
Is the review positive or negative?
