Negative Positive
Title: Very Disappointing
Review: I had heard such good things about John Irving that I bought this book in spite of the odd description on the back. Bad move."The Fourth Hand" combines an unlikely storyline with characters you couldn't care less about to deliver a truly forgettable book.While at times it had interesting things to say about broadcast journalism, the main characters were bizarre, self-centered, and one-dimensional. At the end of the book, I still didn't care what happened to any of them. A couple of supporting characters (Vlad and Angie) showed promise, but were tossed aside once they served their purpose with regard to the protagonist.With nothing to relate to and no characters to care about, I found this book truly disappointing.
Is the review positive or negative?
