Title: An exercise in ennui
Review: I am not the kind of person who quits a book once I start it. I even made it through Henry James' "The Golden Bowl," and believe me, once I finished it, I wanted to throw it in the toilet bowl. I never read Banks' first novel, but a few of my friends said it was good. When I started reading Wonder Spot, after about fifty pages, I wondered why was I reading this book. I found the characters to be so boring that after awhile I forgot what was going on in these stories. I read a few reviews that said this book was 'electrifying' and to be honest, the only thing 'electrifying' about this book is if I were to read it in the bathtub and accidently drop in my hair dryer. I couldn't finish this book, and I would be very hesistant to read her first one. A complete flop.
Is the review positive or negative?
