Negative Positive
Title: Misdirected Talent
Review: I'm afraid I'll have to agree with the reader from Grants Pass, OR, who wrote in her/his review, "life is too short and the world is too full of good reads to spend time with this one." I want a book that lifts me up rather than brings me down. For others who feel like I do, I recommend another book I got from Amazon, "People of Passion" by Carl Mays. It is also about people from the South (Appalachia) who had it bad, but they found meaning and purpose in life and had the faith and determination to rise above their circumstances. There is no doubt that Carson McCullers is a talent, it's just that I was depressed by the way she used it with the characters and their decisions in their situations. Unlike, some of the reviewers, I did finish the book, but not with pleasure or satisfaction.
Is the review positive or negative?
