Negative Positive
Title: pretentious
Review: Darcy Cosper is a thinker not a writer. She gets so caught up in Joy's principles that she neglects the plot. Though she does have some insightful thoughts on the institution of marriage in todays society, she forgets to resolve anything in her book. Joy's stance on marriage is obviously derived from her parents divorce. What happens between Joy and Gabe? More importantly what about Joan? I would have liked to see more of what happened to her and her pathetic excuse for a husband. And Chris? unresolved. When writing a book it is in my opinion that you resolve or at least explain the problems of the characters thoroughly. Obviously Darcy Cosper is more intersted in getting her own opinions across than writing a story. She should be writing for newspapers and magazines. she should not be writing books.
Is the review positive or negative?
