Negative Positive
Title: Postscript
Review: One last note: Vincent, the teenaged son, is really quite ridiculous. He is JUST the "typical" teenager. In other words, that stereotype of a teenager: overwhelmingly shallow, egotistical, and childish. Vincent's speech as Mitchard writes it is merely an extension of that stereotype. The stress Mitchard puts on the fact that Vincent is staying away from (oh no!) swear words, like "shit," is a heavy-handed (and failed) attempt at trying to leave Vincent some scrap of morality. I would last like to express my surprise that so few people feel the same way as I do about this novel. (And no, I do not consider myself a "discriminating" reader, turning my nose up at anything not on the best seller's list, not a Nobel Prize winner, and not a classic.
Is the review positive or negative?
