Negative Positive
Title: Tedious, pointless and uniformly unfunny
Review: Neither comic nor a masterpiece, this book becomes more oppressive with the turn of each page. Reading the sophomoric prose is like being slowly buried under sodden newspaper. Nevertheless, being in the minority here, I truly wonder what I might be missing. I beseech and BEG the admirerers of this book to cite a paragraph, a sentence or a turn of phrase they consider to be masterful and comic, or just comic, or just masterful. I ask that in sincerity because, far from finding anything humorous or well written, let alone masterful, I found myself astonished that anyone could be even mildly amused or impressed, other than by the fact that the author actually had the will power to watch this much paint dry.
Is the review positive or negative?
