Negative Positive
Title: Nasty
Review: I know this is considered a breakthrough literary classic of some kind, and I gave it my best shot. I stuck with it as long as I could, but no thank you. I was expecting a great story about Brooklyn .... don't laugh at me ! The book is dated, disturbing, sad and so awfully vicious. It's quite a sinkhole in fact.The gratuitous cruelty of the characters to each other was too much for me. I bailed out after the first long section. I didn't need my nose stuck in this mess. Somebody tell me there was one glimmer of human spirit in there, later, and I just didn't get to it.
Is the review positive or negative?
