Negative Positive
Title: contrived, sexist, and totally western
Review: The writing and imagery were undisputably well-polished, but in every other aspect of good writing, this novel failed miserably. The characters are two-dimentional and predictable--even the main character never comes to any realization about the degrading position she has been put in all these year. Her self-retribution lies solely in a man's love, not something a feminist or any logical person would argue, I'm sure. I get sick just thinking about the way the main character throws herself at this man she reveres almost as a god. In addition, the author writes in a style that he believes to be "eastern." I've never heard worse "eartern" writing in my life. Overall, this book was a very UNpleasent read, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
