Negative Positive
Title: Don't bother reading it
Review: The cover of the book calls McLaren "the award-winning author." It doesn't say what award, and I have to assume it was an athletic award or an elementary school spelling bee award. He certainly does not merit an award for his writing. The characters are shallow and their interactions are forced and phony. The plot is predictable. He pretends to be an authority on Aboriginal people and their culture, but he reveals little.I think the copy I read was published in Australia. The rest of the world will not be missing anything if it is not published elsewhere.
Is the review positive or negative?
