Negative Positive
Title: Tedious
Review: After reading the ecstatic reviews of this book, I dutifully slogged through the first hundred pages of disjointed and melodramatic events, hoping in vain that some thread of plot or some interesting characters would turn up, but finally took out the toothpicks that were holding my eyes open and went to bed. Instead of reading the remaining 568 pages, I plan to make better use of my time by rereading Moby-Dick.
Is the review positive or negative?
