Title: A Constant Insult to the Intelligence
Review: Oh Dear, I don't know about the rest of you readers, but this book stunned me with how bad it was. I have fond memories of reading clan as a 10 year old, but on re-reading that I have to say it now seemed flawed and unusually silly to me. The ludicrous perfection of Ayla's character is present even in the early novel, and I now find myself wondering how much of Shelters poor reception is due to its audience maturing and increasing in literary awareness over the long Aul-less years, and how much is due to the (undoubted) lower quality of the writing herein.
Is the review positive or negative?
