Title: Disappointing
Review: This coming-of-age and self-realization story is one that, unfortunately, did neither. While the author did a successful job of setting up a situation that made it possible for the main character to grow and expand, she (both the author and the character) seemed to grow tired of all that required effort. This resulted in a work that never seemed to attain its possibilities. The stylistic characteristics of the work were not enough to rescue it from this short-coming.
Is the review positive or negative?
