Negative Positive
Title: Very disappointing.
Review: Being a Persian, and also having liked many of Oprah's selections, I was so excited to read this. Let me just say that this was truly one of the worst books I have read in a LONG time. None of the characters are particularly likeable or to be respected. I cannot believe that this has been recommended by Oprah, and because of this, I will not be reading any more books that she recommends. In all fairness, the first part of the book is very good, Dubus even does a fairly good job with the Persian culture. But my recommendation is to never read Part II, and to come up with your own ending. There are bad endings .... and then there are bad endings. And this was just dreadful. Really, really upsetting. And no, that should not encourage you to read it and find out how bad could it really be?
Is the review positive or negative?
