Negative Positive
Title: Completely torn about how to rate this.
Review: The ending of the book was so horribly sad that it came close to ruining the whole book for me. That is what I should stress - if sad (kind of pointless too) endings are not your thing - you won't like it. But this is a tragedy and if you know that going into it you'll be fine. I did love the evocative way the book was written. I really felt I was there. I felt the claustrophia, the depression, the hopelessness, the suspicion,,etc. I liked the abrupt switching back and forth between time periods. I thought it was really well done. It was slow going at first, but it was worth it.
Is the review positive or negative?
