Negative Positive
Title: Boring, Pathetic and Sad.
Review: I read every page of this boring book as it was on my high school daughter's suggested summer reading list. On page 136 Taylor Greer makes one true understatement when she says, "I know I'm ignorant." This story is pathetic in that when she is given the Cherokee Indian child and takes her to a motel, she sees plainly that the child has been sexually abused, yet she doesn't take the child to a doctor for several months. He then shows her x-rays where the child has had multiple fractures from abuse. The book has no wisdom, except for the proper English spoken by the Mayan teacher and what does Taylor do, but thinks she's in love with him, when his wife is along with him. This was just sad. This Kentucky hillbilly character is sarcastic and rude, and too lazy to get a starter in her car, so she doesn't have to push it. I have no intention of having my daughter read this book, as it does nothing to teach values.
Is the review positive or negative?
