Title: Worst book I read all year....
Review: Buoyed by the praise garnered for this book ... I purchased this book with reasonably high hopes. However, it turns out that the best part of the book was in the imagining. Unfortunately, the story is dull, populated with cardboard characters, and instead of building to a satisfying denouement, the book cranks along on rusty gears, until it slowly and thankfully eases to a halt.From this purchase onward, I have learnt to read...reviews from the "Lowest rating first" What a pity I can't set that choice as my default.
Is the review positive or negative?
