Negative Positive
Title: Vastly overrated
Review: In the past, I have used award winners as a guide to read some outstanding modern fiction such as "All The Pretty Horses", "Cold Mountain" and "Snow Falling on Cedars". Maybe my expectations were too high, but "Charming Billy" was not nearly as enjoyable as those listed. It was a chore to finally finish it. It was better by far than anything Danielle Steele ever wrote, but I don't understand why it won any awards.
Is the review positive or negative?
