Title: AWFUL!!
Review: A comic masterpiece? Hardly. Didn'tlaugh once. Might have been funny in 1886, but it sure isn't now. Anyway, the book is not what I was looking for, which was serious historical fiction--an imaginative re-telling of this intriguing, long-lost story. I found it afterwards in the novel by Donna Woolfolk Cross, which is very well-researched, beautifully written, and deeply moving. That's the one to get, not this boring and unfunny "comic masterpiece".
Is the review positive or negative?
