Negative Positive
Title: Sluggish Holiday Fare
Review: It was with eager anticipation that I picked up James Brady's new book "A Hamptons Christmas." However, I soon found that neither the story nor the narrative was especially satisfying. To me, there was no story, and I found myself in the peculiar position of not rooting for the protagonists. The writing seemed to be extremely simplistic and dull at times and tried to be sophisticated at other times. Neither style impressed this reviewer.
Is the review positive or negative?
