Negative Positive
Title: Overwritten, needs to be 200 pages shorter
Review: This book was mediocre. I couldn't wait untill the last page to be rid of this litany. The message was powerful but needed to be delivered in short, pointed prose. To what ends the superficial descriptions of the sex the Hailsham students were having? The novel is peppered with quasi-erotic scenes which do nothing to advance the themes.
