Negative Positive
Title: Much Ado
Review: My husband gave me this book for my birthday. It was the only book I took with me on a business trip to Vancouver. I REALLY wanted to like it. I actually wanted to love it. I was completely frustrated by it: not the language, which I found the most interesting part of the whole thing. I just thought the characters were smug and full of themselves and the mystery wasn't very compelling and all the good stuff happened in between the chapters. And if Du Pre went out to see if the wise old Benetsee had come home ONE MORE TIME I think I would have started ripping pages out of the damn thing. Bowen needs to write a book about the music of the Metis (the only exciting parts of the book were when Du Pre and Bassman and Pere Godin were playing their music) and forget about the "mystery" since he's not any more involved in it than we aren't.
Is the review positive or negative?
