Negative Positive
Title: The Remains of Soylent Green -and Totally Overrated
Review: I found this novel slow and the characters infuriating. Why is everyone, especially Ruth, so unstable? It's like everyone has Borderline personalities. But the utter LACK of of any scientific explanation incorporated into the story suggests that people can be bred and trained to serve passively, and that's crazy. Even when little bits of their future are revealed explicitly by Miss Lucy, THERE ARE NO REACTIONS from the students. I found this unbelievable. I couldn't wait for a wrap-up and payoff, and when it finally happened (all too briefly and casually), I tossed the book as soon as I finsihed it.(Having read some spoiler reviews before reading my 1st Ishiguro novel, I may have damaged the experience... but I doubt it)
Is the review positive or negative?
