Negative Positive
Title: Absolutely terrible!
Review: This is one of the most poorly written books I have ever read. The language is simply awful! Meaningless similes, a barrage of pointless details, downright lame analogies, and a web of subplots that are never fully (or even partially) developed. One of the first rules of writing is to create a believable character, and I had a hard time believing that Jennifer would do anything but sulk and get in slapping matches with her equally 2-dimensional sister. She seemed incapable of having any emotion deeper than "feeling like a rhino." The ending is completely unsupported by the rest of the book, and just comes off as nowhere else to go. I thought the premise was fantastic--a fresh approach to the subject of rape in a generation where one word from a disgruntled kid is enough to wreck someone's life forever, but as a previous reviewer said, it runs out of steam before it even has a chance to take off.
Is the review positive or negative?
