Title: One endlessly long episode of "I Love Lucy"
Review: Although I enjoyed this book at first(I laughed out loud a few times), I soon began to tire of what I realized was one endlessly long episode of "I Love Lucy", right down to Ira's hair and skin color. We're supposed to love Maggie the way we loved Lucy, but frankly I tired of Lucy at an early age--mostly because she represented women as befuddled nitwits who couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper sack. I'd like to see more books on the Pulitzer Prize list with female protagonists who are not helpless, pathetic and devoid of lives.
Is the review positive or negative?
