Negative Positive
Title: Hamburger's writing lacks!
Review: After reading several reviews of "Faith for Beginners", my book club chose this as it's next book to read. The reviews used words like "funny", "insightful", "profoundly moving", & we were all looking forward to reading it. "Faith for Beginners" is NOT at all funny! It is quite the opposite in fact. It is a completely depressing novel with nothing interesting, powerful, memorable, meaningful or redeeming about it. The characters have no depth, with the exception of George, & therefore do not draw you in. The result...this reader didn't give a hoot what happened to any of the characters. It drags on & on, & you think that it's got to get better but it never does.All in all, Hamburger's writing was not creative, interesting, profound or...ANYTHING. The only thing I felt at the end of the book was angry that I wasted my time reading it. This book does not work, & Aaron Hamburger hasn't got it.
Is the review positive or negative?
