Negative Positive
Title: Fascinating, but ultimately boring and mean-spirited
Review: I stopped reading this half way through, because it was too depressing and slow.I've though of it several times since though, especially when my Mom mentions something about geneaology, etc. This gave me a very strong emotional and visual impression of what it was like to be a lonely homestead farmer in the late 1700s in Iceland.The main character though is one of my least favorite people ever imagined (what a grump!) and while it was an interesting read, it never put me in a good place or was that enjoyable.
Is the review positive or negative?
