Negative Positive
Title: Achingly slow and full of unnecessary detail
Review: I was upset as I read the positive reviews for this book, wondering if those critics were paid. I have never read a book so achingly slow-moving and tedius, so full of unnecessary details. Oates foreshadows an interesting event, and takes pages and pages building up to it, but as I pour over details, I keep losing interest. Why this was chosen as an Oprah Book Club selection, I have no idea. I hate to put a book down, but I think I'm going to have to end this long-winded torture.
Is the review positive or negative?
