Negative Positive
Title: distasteful, disgusting, fake, and unworthy of Victoria Holt
Review: I deeply regret reading this "novel" if it can be called such. It is undoubtly disgusting, the plot it ugly and unnecessary. What bewilders me is that Minella, the heroine chooses a man so diabolical and evil. She seems like a sensible person, but obviously I shouldn't have judged her by her cover. The man she supposedly loves is so many years her senior, this fact sickens me, out of all the male characters in the book, she chooses the most wicked and detestable one. Also, this book seems to put down the French revolution as though it is a sinful event in history. I applaud the peasants who braved the aristocrats and wanted equality and independence. The poor were abused unjustly, the rich aware of the injustice were still careless and heartless. I still can't accept this book as a creation of Victoria Holt. All I have to say is what the heck happened???
Is the review positive or negative?
