Negative Positive
Title: Don't waste your time.
Review: This was the most appaling piece of literature that I've ever read. Rob, the main character, is never presented as remotely likeable or sympathetic due to the terrible and unremorseful ways in which he acts. Ultimately, Rob hurts every other character in this book (especially the females) both physically and mentally. The worst part for me was that never once does the prose stop to consider the consequences of his actions on the rest of the characters. I realize that creating such a mentally ill character such as Rob so craftily may be viewed as a real literary feat on the author's part. On the other hand, I don't feel as if the plot and the repercussions of the character's actions were dealt with responsibly by McLean. It was a struggle to get through the entirity of this novel due to Mr. McLean's sadistic and misogynist imagination. I felt as if it all went from bad to worse. I would also give Bunker Man the negative star rating if it was an option.
Is the review positive or negative?
