Negative Positive
Title: Drags.
Review: This is one of the worst books I read in the past year. If it weren't for its place in history and its importance as the first first-person book written by an African-American author, I probably would've given it one star. The narrative style is painful, the plot feels meandering and silly, and it's just plain not worth reading. The narrator's "earnest" style starts to grate after about 30 pages, and from there on the book just goes bonking along to nowhere. The ending is terrible, as well.
