Negative Positive
Title: Incredibly DENSE
Review: 3-15-2012. As stated in another review, SNOW must be classified as an "impenetrable political novel." After 95 pages or so, I was overwhelmed by the DENSITY and minutiae of conversation and thought involving the polemics of God, Islam, and church-state separatism. For other readers, e.g., philosophers, seekers of the truth, and/or religious dogmatists, however, I can conceive that they may find the story enjoyable and potentially satisfying. For those of you who are already reasonably "centered" or otherwise comfortable with the inner self and its relationship with the play of the universe, you may find the book too boring to finish, as did I.
Is the review positive or negative?
