Title: What a horrible book
Review: I'm an avid reader, who almost always finishes a book no matter how long or badly written but this one, I decided life was to short. This book is extremely dull!!! My book club decided to read this book after one of the members visited the James Joyce tower in Ireland, which the author supposedly wrote part of the book in. We also had noted that the book was on top 100 books of the century etc.. All of us decided the only reason this book could be recommended is because Joyce introduced a new form of writing called "stream of consisiousness". This style of writing basically goes into the character's mind and portray's his/her thoughts. This style at least in this book is very very had to follow, if no narrative is given in between characters thoughts by the author. But to top it all off, the book is boring to say the least, we decided unanimously to stop reading the book and some of us had already read 1/2 the book, myself included by sheer doggedness.
Is the review positive or negative?
