Negative Positive
Title: Overrated
Review: The book is written with good suspense and enjoyable ethnic color, but the literary devices employed are far too obvious, he uses a sledgehammer instead of a rapier in choosing plot events. Most students of a good college writing course could produce material like this. But the masters acknowledge the "rules" of creating fiction and then break those rules in unexpected and pleasing ways.Mostly this was a slog of a read for me, I had a hard time suspending disbelief.
Is the review positive or negative?
