Title: If I could give it no stars I would
Review: It's clear from the opening lines that the book is about an English boarding school that has something to do with clones or organ donors. I think this was a mistake, because it gives the reader the impression that the novel might actually be interesting! My curiosity was piqued, but absolutely nothing came of it. There's no build, no peaks and troughs, no sense of unfolding mystery...on and on it drones. I broke my 70 Page Rule (which states that any book, regardless of its length, should be able to draw the reader in by 70 pages) and actually read about 100 pages (probably because I'd enjoyed Remains of the Day so much) but found precisely nothing to sustain my interest.
Is the review positive or negative?
