Negative Positive
Title: comment by author
Review: This is not a review, but a comment by the author, Terri de la Pena. I just logged on to see if a synopsis existed for my forthcoming novel "Faults," (Alyson, 1999) and was surprised to see that "Latin Satins" is still evoking comments five years after its publication. No, it was never intended to be a young adult novel. Much to my surprise, the New York Public Library listed the book on its recommended list for young adults, which caused me a certain amount of pride and consternation. I certainly do not relish being the target of readers who think I would direct my fiction to young readers. And I'm not a beginning writer, either. Have been writing since I was 13 and am now 52! Hope y'all will like my new book . . . .
Is the review positive or negative?
