Negative Positive
Title: Worst novel I've ever read.
Review: This is the first Irving book I've read. Apparently, I made a horrible choice. The characters were flat and obnoxious and difficult to relate to. Their interactions were boring and unbelievable. The only character that had any appeal whatsoever was the hand surgeon, but his role in the novel was so insignifcant I almost wondered why Irving even bothered creating him. On top of everything, the plot didn't even make any sense. I kept hoping that everything would tie together in the end- that something was going to be revealed that would make the book worth my time- but that something never came. I can't believe this novel was even published, let alone by Irving. I can't get over the fact that some people honestly rated this novel a 5. So bad.
Is the review positive or negative?
