Negative Positive
Title: Virtually unreadable
Review: I love literary fiction. WHat I find impossible to muddle through is self-conscious attempts to "be literary." I literally got a headache from this book. John Updike and Rabbit Angstrom need fear nothing from Mr. Ford. He writes beautiful sentences; his descriptions often rang true. THe trouble with this character, unfortunately, is he never mentally shuts up. I wanted so much to be released from the confines of his psyche that I threw the book away after 50 pages...and felt relieved for having done so. I never throw books away...but this one I needed to be released from.
Is the review positive or negative?
