Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: I may run contrary to the other reviewers here, but I really didn't like tales. The book, first of all, doesn't even read like a Bukowski book. The writing style is totally different from any of the novels or short story books, especially Hot Water Music and South of No North. I really don't believe that Bukowski wrote this book, sorry. I think it was some kind of posthumous ghost writer, and not a very good one. Second of all, the stories are terrible. They don't make any sense. Things happen in the book and you're not sure what's going on. The plots have no sort of logical flow to them. So even if Bukowski DID write this book, which he didn't, it still wouldn't be worth reading.
Is the review positive or negative?
