Title: The Great Bridge: an Epic Snooze
Review: I had to put the book down after about 150 pages for fear I would die of boredom. We chose the book for our bookclub based off of the overwhelming outstanding reviews on Amazon. Rarely does that fail us but it certainly did this time. I felt berated with name dropping and random unrelated/uninteresting details, none of which were compelling. I was entranced by Laura Hillenbrand's description of planes in a chapter of 'Unbroken'; I certainly can find a topic I otherwise am indifferent to very interesting but this author managed to completely turned me off. When I ran the NYC Marathon the residents of Brooklyn had the biggest heart and cheered like no other area along the course; I wanted to love this book, learn more about how the area was impacted by the Bridge but found the writing style and all the details to be a complete bore. Was there even an editor?
Is the review positive or negative?
