Negative Positive
Title: Boring and tedious. Don't expect to be entertained.
Review: I can't believe this book won the Pulitzer prize. The premise is interesting but far from what really happened. I think Jones could have done a much better job given his creativity. There are way too many characters in the book (there is a summary of all the names in the book at then end which is very useful for refernce). Because of the different characters, the reader is unable to connect with any one of them. The writing is okay.From a historical standpoint it is not of much use since nothing close to what Jones describes really happened. On the positive side, he does paint a nice picture of life during those times and I also appreciated his creativity.
Is the review positive or negative?
