Negative Positive
Title: Awful!
Review: It's hard to believe that this book was nominated for a major award, and that Oprah saw fit to add it to her book collection (a dubious honor anyway). This is a terrible book, with little to recommend or redeem it. The depiction of the struggle of the immigrants' lives was mildly interesting, but the rest of the story and characters were soulless and underdeveloped and unnecessary. Only a story that MUST be told should be told, and this story is not one that needs telling. I noticed that previous reviewer called this book as good as I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE. On that, I must agree.
Is the review positive or negative?
