Title: Really not my kind of book
Review: This book has some very annoying aspects to it. First, the lack of quotation marks makes it hard to decipher who exactly is talking, and whether or not someone is actually talking or if it's just thoughts/narration going on. Next, the switching back and forth between 1996 and 1940 usually does not bother me, but the 1996 story was soooooo trite and boring I just wanted to skip over it to the 1940s part. The way the author describes college students is horrid! As a graduate student myself, I know for a fact that most college students do not say the word "like" multiple times throughout every sentence. "Hi Professor, can I like, talk to you, like, for a minute? I am having some trouble, like, understanding the material." Uggghh, that is when I stopped reading. Also, the characters are really under developed. This book is not to be tossed aside lightly, it should be thrown across the room with great force.
Is the review positive or negative?
