Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: I have read both The Giver and Number the Stars and loved them both. They were both deep, well-written explorations of society, past future. Gathering Blue was very disappointing to me after that, and I could barely get through it. It seemed predictable, shallow, and I think tried to define things far too narrowly. The book seemed to me to be just about unfolding its fantastical plot, which was not particularly extroadinary.
Is the review positive or negative?
