Negative Positive
Title: Oprah... what were you thinking
Review: I should have read the reader's reviews before I bought this book - if I had I would have saved myself a bit of cash. Being neurotic I have to finish what I start and House of Sand and Fog or as I started affectionately calling it "House of Sand and S#@*" was a drag all the way through. I tried to convince myself that the meaning and mythic potential behind the gratuitous and ultimately boring sex as well as the poor character development was worth it but the author just didn't pull it off. One good thing - I discovered that I really do have discriminating tastes when it comes to books - Oprah has recommended some really good stuff before but this is definitely not one of them.
Is the review positive or negative?
