Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed
Review: You'll run across a couple of great characters throughout the book, my favorite was Mr. Atlas the map collector, and they are interesting and fun. I also liked the part about what happened to Columbus after his first, highly acclaimed voyage. But I found the author's phsyco babble about himself intrusive and it put me off. In the end, although his pursuit of the story behind the thefts took him on some interesting detours, he was basically unsuccessful in finding out anything about Bland or the thefts beyond what was reported in the newspapers in 100 words or less. And come on - the Island of Lost Maps is a pile of paper in the middle of a table? That was weak. I think the title is misleading and raises expectations that it can't fulfill.
Is the review positive or negative?
