Negative Positive
Title: much ado about nothing. A disappointing read.
Review: The author's reputation and the "hype" surounding Charming Billy prompted me to purchase and read the book. I wish I had read the reviewers' comments beforehand. I had to re-read the first half of the book to determine who the narrator was. This was very distracting. Halfway through, I really couldn't care about any of the characters. The lyrical prose saved the story, but I found the book boring, repetitious and forgettable. Prize-winning, I think not.
Is the review positive or negative?
