Negative Positive
Title: Too familiar
Review: Having worked for a woman very similar to that described in the book, albeit in Interior Design, I felt great sympathy for the main character, Andrea. There are some truly revolting people out there, and frankly you are better off getting out early on -I only spent 6 weeks there, as opposed to the year the main character put in - and this book was giving me horrible flashbacks.Apart from the similarities to my experience (which meant that in a lot of ways I didn't really enjoy the book as it brought back a lot of bad memories), I found the book shallow and fairly glib - there was no soul searching at any point except the end, and then that was fairly over dramatic. In addition, the novel was quite poorly written - ungrammatical and mostly consisting of "conversations" rather than descriptions. Reads like a screenplay.
Is the review positive or negative?
