Negative Positive
Title: In Search of Mom
Review: Daniel Quinn always surprises me with his ability to think outside the lines and create alternative realities. He wanted to write a novel that went backward in time. "Impossible" he was told. Impossible to write, impossible to sell. He wanted to write it as a screenplay. Same reaction. Finally he wrote it as an adult comic book, illustrated by Tim Eldred. Does it work? Pretty much. Satisfying? Surprisingly, yes, up to the ending. It's filled with Quinn's usual concerns about the environment and our place in the scheme of things. And there's a bonus. His preface "The Lure of the Impossible" provides raw encouragement to every writer who has tried to push the envelope.
Is the review positive or negative?
