Negative Positive
Title: Amateaur Hour
Review: Amateur is sometimes meant to be a compliment, but that is not this reviewer's intention. The subject matter here, Iran, demands a point, otherwise, this would be a 1. This "novel" reads like an early draft and any editor with her salt would have sent the author back to try 3 more times to get the characters to resemble humans and not convenient mouthpieces to give readers information. I have a 100 page rule with thrillers: if it isn't happenning for you in those 100 pages, it isn't going to happen, so you have the right to put it down and begin another book.I put this down at Page 98. good title, good subject, good timing for subject, poor execution: slap on wrist for editor, if there was one.
Is the review positive or negative?
