Negative Positive
Title: Boring and stilted writing
Review: I don't understand why this book won any awards. I found the main character to be an irritatingly passive male about whom I cared little. The only reason I kept reading was to see if anything turned up that made it worthwhile. I would have to say, no. Furthermore, the writing seems stilted and elementary -- like a very poor translation.
