Negative Positive
Title: good books get the shaft, and THIS gets the prize? COME ON!
Review: how did this book (if you can call it that) get an award? the only award this crap deserves is "bob's award for horridly long and annoying literature." this is the biggest pile of hot, steaming trash literature that i've ever read. it's a soap opera set in post-slavery times. it starts normal enough... but then the baby that sethe killed comes back to life as a 1.5-year-old stuck in a 20 year old body. then to give the story another bullcrap turn, she starts screwing sethe's lover, paul d. and somehow she thinks that that's gonna get her closer to sethe. you tell me where this logic plays in. what a lousy story. fans of soap operas will love it; i, for one, thought it was a crappy book with a crappy plot with a few bad acid trips mixed in.
Is the review positive or negative?
