Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: After reading all the raves about Shipping News (which I have not read), I found Accordian Crimes in the bargain bin of the local bookstore, so I thought I would give it a try. The book is readable, but it is essentially a collection of depressing (and troubling) short stories. I was expecting an actual NOVEL. The characters seem to be either horrendously unlucky or incredibly stupid. The plot would come to a conclusion just when I feel I am getting into the storyline. In short, I do not much care for it.
Is the review positive or negative?
