Negative Positive
Title: Rather disappointing
Review: Based on earlier recommendations here, I selected this for my book group to read. While the story was entertaining and evoked memories of stories told by some of my older relatives, I felt that it was not particularly well written, and would have benefited from some serious editing. The author used language repetitiously, and there was no particularly grace or eloquence to her writing style. Although it was a good chronicle of the family's life, as a literary work, it left me wishing for something richer.
Is the review positive or negative?
