Negative Positive
Title: Not Good
Review: I read a bit of this, then skimmed the rest. I could pick out the plot points like they were flags on a golf course. Literary fiction is supposed to be pure, with no tricks. Well, this had plotting as awkward as the worst John Grisham novel. And its pretentious use of language made me cringe at times. If Chabon is the best literary writer under 40 (as some say he is), then MTV really has destroyed some minds.
Is the review positive or negative?
