Negative Positive
Title: 1 word: pedantic
Review: This book was so poorly written that it was difficult to read. (Nicholas Sparks, if you're reading this, I'm sorry.) I could have written something better, more entertaining, and more subtle when I was about 8. I cannot understand what sort of publishing house would actually produce such an amateur attempt.I am reading Sparks's second novel, Message in a Bottle (or was it his first???), figuring that perhaps The Notebook was just a fluke. I must say, it is better, however a glaring lack of subtlety must be Sparks's trademark.But go ahead and read it - it will only take an hour or so.
Is the review positive or negative?
