Negative Positive
Title: A very disappointing novel
Review: "Old Ties" is truly one of the worst novels I have read in recent memory. The plot was transparent from the beginning, and the book was nothing but predictable. Saxon Bennett's prose reminds one of a poor writer who has been published by a vanity press. If this is indicative of the author's talents, I would hesitate to read another of her works.
