Negative Positive
Title: Pretty Impressive
Review: I don't know exactly what I was expecting from this novel, but it delivered a lot more than I was anticipating.From all the reviews comparing it to The Catcher In The Rye, I was expecting a classic, gay take on the bildungsroman. In a lot of ways, it's nothing like that, since I wouldn't say the main character discovers himself so much as discovers others around him. But that's not a bad thing.A lot of plot, which reads on paper like a Eugene O'Neill play, would almost be ludicrous if Yates didn't have such a keen ear for dialog and the ability to create likable characters.
Is the review positive or negative?
