Negative Positive
Title: Don't be fooled.
Review: The review-length sketch outline of this book appealed to me greatly -- it was hyped as a sort of magic realism fairy tale-come-love story. It is not. It isn't anything. Except bad. What it is, is pedantic, poorly-written pablum. Sherwood doesn't even trust the reader to "get" his ham-fisted, overwrought and entirely cliché message, so he reminds us what it is every ten pages ("[He] know everything about the fastest coconut tree climber...but [he doesn't] know the first thing about love.") Please...*please* do not read this book. It is not worth your time. Read anything else.
