Negative Positive
Title: White Teeth more aptly titled ¿Root Canal¿
Review: This novel has been in my &#65533;to be read&#65533; pile for several months and I was anxious to get to it based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews by critiques. &#65533;Wonderful&#65533;, &#65533;Astonishing&#65533;, &#65533;Funny as hell&#65533;, the jacket promises. I failed to see the humor anywhere. What I found were angry ramblings in regard to characters that I don&#65533;t think even the author particularly liked. Ms. Smith touched on animal rights, radical organizations, love, friendship, war, marriage, religion, science, class and culture with such a brutal tone that I became more and more depressed with the turn of each page. There was no focus of the 400+ pages which (I believe) led to a rather ridiculous and completely unsatisfactory end. I&#65533;m very sorry that I devoted the time I did to trudge through this great disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
