Negative Positive
Title: Dreadful
Review: What a wreck of a novel. The premise that a replica of England is more enticing than the actual experience of visiting England is fine. The descriptions of the myths and history of England should have been interesting. Instead the author chose to dull them down and treat them as academia rather than story. The characters in this novel are barely fleshed out. There are glimpses of life in the two main characters, but no one else comes off as remotely human, they are more cartoon characters. I did not care about the well being of any of these characters. There are large stretches of this novel that seemingly take you nowhere. Classic example of a good idea that does not make a good story.
