Title: Self-conscious drivel
Review: This is a fine example of self-conscious writing in which the author is saying, "See how sensitive, perceptive and thoughtful I am?" But "Five People" is adolescent, without substance, predictable and -- worst of all -- incredibly boring. The characters have no character. The plot is straight line. The theme pure pap. The only reason to read past page two is to amaze yourself that anyone would publish a verbal trainwreck. I can't say one good thing about this book -- except that paper burns and winter is coming.
Is the review positive or negative?
