Negative Positive
Title: Well....
Review: The writing is very good, but the true and simple test of a novel is to ask oneself these questions: Do I care about the characters? Can I stop reading this book right now and never wonder about how it ends? If you answer no to the first question and yes to the second, it is not a good work of literature. The Line of Beauty is, unfortunately, one of these novels. Tedious, overly mannered and stifling.
Is the review positive or negative?
