Negative Positive
Title: Disjointed and dispiriting
Review: Do we really need 448 pages of well-written and sometimes sparkling prose to tell us that When the Going gets Unstable, the Unstable Fall to Pieces? I found it difficult to keep straight all the characters and their individual pathologies, and even more difficult to care. After finishing the book, I did not find I had more insight about the theological, political, ethnic, or psychological roots of the Palestinian Question. The book did provide an intense sense of physical location.
Is the review positive or negative?
