Title: I don't think this deserved the National Book Award
Review: I'm sorry, but I don't think this novel deserved the National Book Award. I loved Cold Mountain (last year's winner), but I think there are far better books that could have won this award. The story did not move me in any way. I don't care how good the writing may be, if the story does not change my view of the world in some way or stir emotion in me, or even entertain in some way, then what's the purpose of reading it? I know this author is talented, but I wanted more.
Is the review positive or negative?
