Negative Positive
Title: Big Disappointment
Review: I'm certainly no fan of organized religion and I enjoy seeing hypocrites get taken down a knotch, but this is a terrible novel. After some of the glowing reviews here, I was very disappointed. What begins as a run-of-the-mill thriller becomes a very long, boring, no-surprises, paperback trash read. The lengthy diatribes against Catholics seemed to border on bigotry and ignorance and made this non-Catholic wonder about the motives of the writer. Pretty vile stuff at times.I didn't finish the final 200 pages, but from flipping through them, they are as bad as the first 400. I just didn't want to invest more time in it. There must be a lot of readers angry at religion to generate some of the remarkably positive reviews posted. I love good novels and I'm just not angry enough myself to forgive this book its many faults and unfortunate excesses. Besides, its awful.
Is the review positive or negative?
