Negative Positive
Title: The ending cannot be justified
Review: The only thing that holds be back from giving this book a good review is the lunacy of the ending. I don't know what Johnson had in mind, but if he was seeking to create more ambivalence about what is and was a difficult issue when this book was written for many African Americans, he succeeded. I cannot in good conscience encourage anyone to read this, although the prose is truly masterful.
Is the review positive or negative?
