Negative Positive
Title: High-end yawn.
Review: A quick read. I liked it well enough, but found the constant repetitions of authors (especially Dickens) and/or books that I didn't care about to be annoying. The snobbish "rare books dealers" really put me off, as did the "cheap" book fair. The last fifty pages seemed to last longer than any other part of the book, and not in a good way. I was ready for it to be done before it actually was. I do like books on books, but Lewis Buzbee's "The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop" was much better than this over-hyped headache inducer.
Is the review positive or negative?
