Negative Positive
Title: passionate but poisoned
Review: I read this book years ago and recently came across it in an old box and reread a chapter in the middle. It is rather brilliantly written--the author is a great raconteur, and has style and wit; reading it is like spending a few hours with a cantankerous and opinionated old guy who never lets anyone else get a word in edgewise. But finally the prejudice and self-righteousness become overbearing.
Is the review positive or negative?
