Title: UNDERCURRENTS OF A MIDDLE AGE CRISIS?
Review: FROM READING PREVIOUS REVIEWS AND LISTENING TO A FRIEND'S RAVING ABOUT THIS BOOK, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE IT A TRY. WHAT I FOUND TO BE AN INTERESTING PROPOSITION TURNED OUT TO BE A DISHEARTENING MISADVENTURE. WHILE MR. GRISHAM HAS MOST DEFINITELY ADDRESSED THE MATERIALISTIC SOCIETY IN WHICH WE LIVE, HE HAS ALSO MADE SOME INTERESTING UNDERLYING POINTS, CHIEF OF WHICH, IS THE ESCAPISM THAT WE ALL WANT ON OCCASION, TO PURSUE A DREAM OF A DIFFERENT SORT.I PERSONALLY WAS SADDENED THAT LUTHER'S DREAM DIDN'T GET REALIZED. I ALSO THOUGHT IT QUITE TRAGIC THAT HIS WIFE COULD NOT SEE THE STATE OF DESPERATION THAT HE WAS IN. I DIDN'T FIND MUCH HUMOR IN THIS BOOK. BUT, I DO APPRECIATE THE SELFLESSNESS THAT LUTHER DISPLAYED IN THE END.I CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER IF MR. GRISHAM HAS HIT THE NAIL PERFECTLY ON THE HEAD WITH ALL OF THE UNDERCURRING THEMES. IT JUST SADDENS ME THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD THINK THIS BOOK HUMOROUS.
Is the review positive or negative?
