Negative Positive
Title: Good book. . . . terrible ending.
Review: I very much enjoyed the narrative of the heroine of this novel, probably because she thinks much like I do. The problem with this is that it is quite unrealistic for the time and place of this novel, not to mention the gender and status of the main character especially since this is supposed to be based on historical events. I was able to look past this issue (and a few other others) to enjoy the plot, sub-plots and various characters in this small village, but just couldn't in any capacity excuse the ending that seemed not only rushed but quite thoroughly ridiculous - this time not only for the time and place but even for the character herself.
Is the review positive or negative?
