Title: Why didn't I read these reviews first?
Review: I could have saved $$ and time! Like many readers, I have a hard time not finishing a book once I've started it. But in the case of WWTM, I think I'll make an exception. This is undoubtedly one of the most torturous books I have encountered in a long time. I have been speed reading to get through it...and after 2 weeks I am only on page 250!! Like others have mentioned, I have read and enjoyed several books by Oates, particularly Bellefleur. But WWTM is trivial, contrived, boring. Need I say more?
Is the review positive or negative?
