Negative Positive
Title: A big disappointment
Review: I was surprised to see the blatant sexism, racism, and homophobia in this novel. On top of that, the central character drinks when she's pregnant, even though she knows it's not good for the baby. To make matters worse, the jacket copy reveals the fate of one of the main characters which makes it impossible for you to feel anything for him when disaster strikes -- he's almost superfluous from page one. I didn't even bother to finish this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
