Title: Murder - the victim being the book itself
Review: The only thing that made me finish this book was knowing that I could write a review warning others not to waste their time. This book made me cringe. It seemed as if the book was completed, and then the author decided to go back and add a meaningless adjective to every noun, in a feeble attempt to revive a literary corpse. Some innovative use of the word "very" was a real highlight. By the tenth time a character had a "gulp" of some beverage, I seriously contemplated mailing a thesaurus to the writer. As I write this review I realize that maybe I am being too harsh. But then I take a very, very, very big gulp of my icy cold refreshing drink and put it back on the smooth old mahogany desk, and light up a long thin relaxing cigarette, and have another gulp and think.... naaah.
Is the review positive or negative?
