Title: Help for insomniacs
Review: I wish I had read the reviews here on Amazon before I picked it up. Had I seen the various comments toward Woolf I would have run away screaming. For those who enjoy overdescriptive multisyllabic "in the moment" writings, this book will be a joy. Personally I have already lived through (aka had been forced to) reading Woolf -- and I don't have to anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't understand all the big words, it's just downright annoying to be distracted by them. When I read I want to become so engrossed in the story that I forget I'm reading. With this book, that doesn't happen for me; I'm instead bored with the colorless characters and incessant descriptions of their surroundings. I will probably donate this to the local book drive where some poor kid will have to read it for school.. at least he won't have to pay full price.
Is the review positive or negative?
