Negative Positive
Title: Finnegans Wake Me Up
Review: One wonders how many of the positive (4 or 5 stars) reviewers here are either (1) intellectual poseurs who say they've read the book cover to cover but actually haven't read more than a little; or (2) if they have read it in its entirety, whether they have too much spare time on their hands.One thing it is not (contrary to what some pretentious reviewers here would have you believe) is a "fun read" or "page turner".Despite some glittering word play and demonstrations of great scholarship, Finnegan's wake is a hulking mess.
Is the review positive or negative?
