Negative Positive
Title: Fails to Engage
Review: This book was released in Australia during the first half of 1999 and I'm not sure why its debut in the US was delayed.From my perspective the booked just failed to engage me and a couple of times I was tempted to give up on it and start something else. It was, however, redeemed by a little bit of pace and interest towards the end.I found the first two thirds of the novel slow, dull & unoriginal. The characters were generally unintersting and at times frustrating, especially the behaviour of Frannie around whom much of the story is constructed. Her character stretches credulity more than can be excused. Frankly, as a reader, I didn't care whether she was ever released from gaol."Nothing But the Truth" is not a novel to keep one up at night turning pages.
Is the review positive or negative?
