Negative Positive
Title: Not for a 16 year old!
Review: "A Lesson Before Dying" Began with a fantastic foundation, a man allegedly murders three people during a robbery and is now on death row. This is the type of story any junior in high school would crave to read, including myself. Then the actual story begins and completely bores any reader my age to sleep. Grant criticizes society and dreads being treated like an inferior thus giving the novel a theme. The issue of injustice and facing responsibility is a great subject matter to base a book upon, until an adolescent must read it, which is then that the book falls out of play. This novel by Ernest J. Gaines is written with precision, consideration and righteousness and would be considered a magnificent novel by many full-fledged persons, but the second it enters the hands of a 16year old, is the second it is set down never intended to be picked up again.
Is the review positive or negative?
