Title: Disappointing
Review: The style, plot, and character development were all so weak that I was not able to willingly suspend my disbelief. I confess that I skimmed through the middle chapters because I could not stomach a closer reading. The writing is cliched and self-conscious. The plot and characters are unrealistic. I find it hard to understand why there were several favorable ratings on Amazon before I bought the book and apparently the author has received several awards. This is the first book in a series, and perhaps the writing improves. However, I don't intend to spend any money to find out.
Is the review positive or negative?
