Title: NO NO NO - Don't buy this book
Review: Don't bother buying this book. I thought it might have included some interesting commentary about university life "behind the scenes," and while it might have, I'll never know--I couldn't get past page 8. I'm not one to put down a book after I've started it but I couldn't handle Draughon's adolescent writing style. It seemed like a story rough draft from a 101 student. He described all the characters first by height, then hair color, every time. "The 5'1" skinny guy, the medium height brunette, and the tall thin guy with thin blonde hair . . ." Yikes! The are numerous incomplete sentences, comma splices, and almost all "telling" and no "showing." I am unable to handle a book about college life written by a guy who apparently slept through his.
Is the review positive or negative?
