Negative Positive
Title: Unfathomable; silly and obtuse to the extreme
Review: Rarely have I anticipated a book so hungrily. I am a historical novel "nut" and could not wait to sink in to this 600 page + tome that had been roundly reviewed with superlatives.Well, excuse me! I am in the vast minority, obviously, who "didn't get it." Some times I wonder if reviewers, too "didn't get it" but were afraid to say so, because this conglomeration of words is just that - a pointless, incomprehensible waste of trees.I will accept my own intellectual fallibility and write this one off to "my bad." A talking dog? Dialogue that is meaningless? Wow, I give up on Mr. Pynchon who apparently has some intergalactic literary insights well above my head.My advice to potential readers: try something else...anything else.
Is the review positive or negative?
