Negative Positive
Title: Pompous & Banal
Review: This isn't just a thriller! This book has important things to say?? Should anyone need help understanding the difference between reasoned, thoughtful criticism of organized faith and dull-witted prejudice, or for that matter, between tedious pseudo-philosophizing and real thought, this very long novel is here to clear the air. As pretentious as it is hateful and misguided, this fiercely anti-Catholic novel makes one wonder just which of the author's knuckles Sister Mary may have finally broken in frustration at his lack of writing talent. For those of us who left the Church, just get over it Kleier! Don't inflict unresolved bigotry on readers. Readers are supposed to believe that what makes this book worth enduring are its windy metaphysical meanderings, but these thoughts are so pompous and banal that they can't begin to redeem what is a very bad novel, full of bogus posturing and empty of thought.
Is the review positive or negative?
