Negative Positive
Title: Awkwardly written about specialized subject.
Review: Headlong gets one star as in A for effort. The style is awkward and jolts. The subject matter -- mostly history of the Netherlands -- is near text book style -- and the characters are undeveloped. The lead characters stay married because one is Catholic. They smile at each other musing about the failings of their poorer half. Then they plan to have another child. Psychologically abhorrent.
