Negative Positive
Title: Nothing special
Review: What's all the fuss about? I thought this was a very flimsy story barely held together by it's thin and implausible premise. The writer's tone comes across as overly conscious of her attempts to portray Southern attitudes, personalities, and religious beliefs and contradictions. The ending was almost laughable and left me wondering why I bothered sticking with the book to get to it. I know someone is bound to try to illuminate the "deeper meaning" of the conclusion, but let's face it, there's nothing deep about this novel. It's packaged to look sophisticated, but it's extremely simplistic and banal.
Is the review positive or negative?
