Negative Positive
Title: sorry.
Review: i heard toni morrison on mpr today and she seemed like a very nice and intelligent lady. i wished that i liked this book, but it just wasn't for me. i would not bother rating it, if not for the fact that i just heard the new york times picked THIS as the best book of the last 25 years! first of all, there is no such thing as the best book of the last 25 years, or 100 years, or best book overall of anything period. books are way too subjective an experience to make such an outrageous claim. if the new york times wanted to say this is the favorite book of our editorial dept. over the past 25 years, we could all live with that. i, of course, want to love every book i start. i don't have time to pick up books i think i would hate. so i did have high hopes for this book. it just left me puzzled as to why it is getting such over the top praise, i am sorry to say. oh, well. maybe it's just me.
Is the review positive or negative?
