Negative Positive
Title: Promising start, beginner's ending
Review: A quick scan of the review indicates that there are two main camps here - those who find the ending edgy and those who see it as vandalism, as pointless as painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. I have to agree with the vandalism people. If the author had foreshadowed it, I would not have cared for the effect, but it would have been acceptable. However, sprung jack-in-the-box-like as it was, one can only wonder what the author's point was."Life is senseless, so books can be, too"?"Junkies are junkies and no matter how much they seem to have changed, they are really still cold, self-centered jerks and shame on you for being fooled by them"?"It's my book, I owe the reader nothing, and I can do what I want"?I really don't know nor do I, at this point, care. And it's too bad, too, because the author has the potential.
Is the review positive or negative?
