Negative Positive
Title: Painful
Review: I borrowed this book from my 14 year old neice for whom it was assigned reading. I was quite excited about it, too. Apparently its just me, but I found this to be a boring, painful read. As a booklover I could never understand why she didn't have the same joy in reading as I do. After suffering through this one, now I understand. I couldn't wait to finish it - not to see what was going to happen, just so it would be over. While I can appreciate it for the shocking, ground breaking novel it was back when it was originally published, I am of the opinion that many more interesting and better written true crime stories have been written since then.
Is the review positive or negative?
