Negative Positive
Title: Interesting material, horrid writing.
Review: There is rich material in this chronicle of life in Savannah. However, this novel is crippled by its cliches. Worse still, the writing is tasteless and adolescent, and because of this scenes that strive for drama are sadly laughable. I believe I said in my earlier review that this is some of the worst prose I'd ever seen between hard covers. Any reasonably intelligent high school student should have developed a better prose style. That this book could have found an audience at all is a sad comment on American culture.
Is the review positive or negative?
