Title: One of the most boring books I've ever read
Review: This book was recomended to me, and it seemed interesting enough from the plot summary, but then I started actually reading it. I tried to like this book...really I did. I kept reading farther just in the dire hope that it would pick up and be a bit more interesting and it just never did. Maybe something was lost in translation, but it's longwinded about absolutely nothing, all the characters are dry and often times downright annoying, and it's descriptions of people and places are horrid. Being a book about books, it mentions them a lot, to the point of of being annoying. Reading it I was constantly thinking to myself "OK, I get the point, they like books!!! You dont have to tell us 5 times a page." The main bad guy was supposed to be the most evil person in existance and was straight forwardly described as such over and over and over ad nauseum, and just....wasnt. Many parts are painfully predictable, and over all the book just falls flat.
Is the review positive or negative?
