Negative Positive
Title: Maybe it's me, but I couldn't get into this book.
Review: I hate to give a bad review on a book I didn't finish, but I simply was unable to get interested in this book. I tried several times. First, I don't care for the way the author phrases things - I found him excessively descriptive. For me, it felt like he was trying to fill space by overdoing it. Then, he jumped around quite disjointedly - a technique I usually enjoy, actually, but again, it just didn't work for me the way Chaon did it. I very much liked the premise of the novel, so I am going to try yet again, and if I can get past his style enough to get into the story, I will edit this review accordingly. Maybe it will grow on me. I doubt this review is particularly helpful, but as a Vine participant, I needed to write it as part of my agreement with Amazon.
Is the review positive or negative?
