Title: Time for a better book.
Review: I'm a third of the way through the book, and page after page, I keep wondering when the story will go somewhere, when the characters will move me, when will the storyline develop. It's become a tedious read, as I have no feeling - like or dislike - for the characters. Perhaps because none of them are believable, and there's a shallowness that oozes through most of them. I finally decided I need to find out if other readers had my experience, so I came online to read some reviews. Now I know it's time to move on, to pick up the next book on my shelf, and donate The Mulvaneys to the thrift shop. The last book I read was Wally Lamb's "I Know This Much Is True", and while I know that's a hard act to follow, life is too short to waste it on this kind of writing.
Is the review positive or negative?
