Title: Nothing compared to My Antonia
Review: I read this book because I liked My Antonia so much that I wanted to read other books by Willa Cather. Big mistake. This book was extremely disappointing and one can't help feeling a strong dislike for Thea towards the end of the book. A real artist does not exhibit the contempt for "ordinary" (i.e. non-artist) people that Thea somehow acquires in Cather's book. Learning about Thea's useless and superficial (yes! superficial and pompous) life was a big waste of my time.
Is the review positive or negative?
