Negative Positive
Title: I Wanted to Like it. I Couldn't Even READ it.
Review: The Seven Sister's jacket blurb pulled me in with excitement and a plot I could specifically relate to being about divorce and moving to an urban dwelling, really different from times past. So, I could relate to the character, right? Not! The stereotypes, especially the racial stereotypes made me just stop. I don't know much about the author so I don't want to assume she's a racist but I think in order to add and edge or danger to her story, she played that dreaded race card. I didn't want to know how else negatively she felt about what she called "coloured" people so I stopped reading. Are you 150 years old, Drabble? By the way, you're looking in on the journal of a woman whose entries are just as dry as stale crackers. Leave them on the shelf for show, along with this unfortunate book.
Is the review positive or negative?
