Negative Positive
Title: Only my Opinion
Review: At the risk of incurring the wrath of the passionate admirers of this novel, I would like to say that I did not enjoy reading _The Last Day_ very much. I am slightly bemused by the vehemence with which an ordinary thriller is defended here and the strain of paranoia characterizing some of the favorable reviews. Surely we all should strive for a more open-minded tolerance of one another's opinion concerning a mere novel. Any criticism I have as to the quality of the author's quality of writing or intended message would only repeat the essence of what has already been stated in many of the negative reviews on this page. But I believe each of us should feel free to express our ideas without the personal condemnation and bizarre recriminations of any angst ridden faction with persecution delusions. It is, after all, only a novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
