Title: cannot agree with the mostly grand reviews
Review: I looked forward to reading this book based on the many good reviews that the other reviewers gave this book. However, I cannot agree that this is a good book. In fact, I had to force myself to finish reading it because it grated on my nerves so badly.In my reading, I found the main character unbelievable - first because he did not read as a male, but rather as a female, which confused me. Then I was put off by the observations and descriptions of the art and the art world. It sounded to me like the author was just trying to show off, but that she really did not know what she was talking about.In sum, I found the novel, tricky, trite and pretentious. I would not recommend it nor would I ever read anything else by this author.
Is the review positive or negative?
