Negative Positive
Title: So much unrealized potential...
Review: I agree with all of the reviewers who were drawn in by the premise, and disappointed with how the book carried it to conclusion. Several things didn't make sense, or seemed like NYC plot contrivances, but the thing that doomed the book for me was the utter lack of a sympathetic protagonist. For the first few chapters I was right there with Carrie as she struggled with her decision. What soon became apparent was that being wishy-washy, self-absorbed, and incapable of following through on a decision was not just her starting point as a character, but her ending point. I really didn't care what she chose, I just wished she would stop explaining bobbins and out-dated dresses(dark green velvet? really?) and hurry to the conclusion.
Is the review positive or negative?
