Negative Positive
Title: beautifully ugly; ugily beautiful
Review: Postmodern writing doesn't get better than this. This book is absolutely beautiful but so horrendous as to leave one sleepless. I suggest reading it all in one sitting, as I did for school. There's a part of it where the heroine reflects on a horrific place she was once at and realizes that for all its terror and suffering, she'll always associate the name of that place with the beautiful trees. Reading this book, too, is like that.
Is the review positive or negative?
