Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: This book appeals to literary critics because it is full of overblown prose. There were several times, as I read, that I wondered why a particular chapter was there in the first place - it added nothing and wasted my time. I do not believe that this family would manage to overcome its traumas in the way the book has them doing so - the way in which each person evolved and splintered and eventually changed was not believable in any case save, perhaps, for Marianne....
Is the review positive or negative?
