Negative Positive
Title: what has happened to the novel?
Review: Simply put, this novel stunk. The language is imprecise, the characters boring and unlikeable, and the situations stupid. It's tedious, rambling, unreadable verbal muck. It'd be easier and less painful to get it into your brain by ramming it through your ear rather than reading it. You'd be more entertained watching hair grow.
