Title: Dry as toast
Review: I found it nearly impossible to get into the narrative of this book. Orhan Pamuk's style of writing here is distanced, very dry, intellectualized. A love story is presented in the most remote way; its dialogue is as flat and formal as any I've read, given the context. I wonder if this has to do with an overly literal translation. Sorry to say, this is one of the dullest books that's crossed my path in a long time.
Is the review positive or negative?
