Title: The first 2 lines reek of the english department
Review: The first 2 lines are: "What makes Iago evil? some people ask. I never ask." Which also reeks of facile gum-snapping cynicism.But Joan really redeemed herself with the following passage: "She walked back to the car and sat for a long while in the parking lot, idling the engine and watching a woman in a muumuu walk out of the Carolina Pines motel and cross the street to a supermarket. The woman walked in small mincing steps and kept raising her hand to shield her eyes from the vacant sunlight. As if in trance Maria watched the woman, for it seemed to her then that she was watching the dead still center of the world, the quintessential intersection of nothing."
Is the review positive or negative?
