Title: From a Maltese:
Review: I bought this book on impulse, mainly cause I always make it a point to read any novels portraying my country. Having just finished it off today, I came to check out the reviews and i was completely surprised."5 stars? comparable to Dan Brown?" I am not one to disparage my country or my compatriots but I believe that these reviews are extremely over-rated.I found the style childish and immature; if the subject hadn't been so adult I would seriously have thought that I had bought a children's book by mistake. I was also annoyed by the large number of mistakes in the book, there are several name swappings which make it quite confusing.While i can only encourage Mrs Anderson to keep on writing, I would be a hypocrite in saying that i found this book an inspiring read. It is perhaps adequate for a magazine story, but it is far from the standard i expected in a novel. I hope to see my country written about in works of higher literary standard.
Is the review positive or negative?
