Negative Positive
Title: It has stayed with me as the worst book ever after years.
Review: This one continues to ring out as most memorable worst book. It drags. It is deliberatley complicated and if there are points they are most definitely lost in the poor writing that does not flow. I enjoy reading different writing styles and though they do not all flow into a fast read all of the time, most books ebb and flow. This one just ebbed painfully. I am afraid it has made me cautious of grabbing just any National book award winner and expecting a good read. Someone missed the boat when voting on this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
