Negative Positive
Title: worse than I feared
Review: i was intrigued by the reviews of Gravity' Rainbow so I ordered it. It is every bit as pretentious and boring as I feared. Mind-numbingly boring, in fact. I think this kind of book is only enjoyed by people who like to feel they are privy to a literary higher ground the rest of us don't inhabit and couldn't possibly understand. The story takes place in London in WWII, and the premise is that every time a certain American soldier has an sexual conquest, the Germans send a bomb to that very spot. One reviewer said that the author uses beautiful prose...I can think of many authors who write much more beautifully, and who manage to make their books interesting and meaningful as well.
Is the review positive or negative?
