Negative Positive
Title: Yawn....
Review: Having occasionally shared neighborhoods with junkies, I have always been amazed by how thoroughly uninteresting their lives are. This book confirms my view. It works really hard to make lives of junkies literary interesting, but fails since the material that the author works with is intrinsically dull. One cannot but help shedding a tear for all the trees that has been wasted making this all too thick book.(A disclaimer: If this book picks up in the second half I may be a bit unfair. Somehow I seriously doubt it. Particullarily because of the cutting technique that has been so much better applied elsewhere)
Is the review positive or negative?
