Title: Not worth your time or money.
Review: Thanks to Amazon, I only paid a penny for this book plus shipping. I'm less insulted by any monetary cost than the timethat I spent reading almost a third of the 300 pages presented here, thinking that the reviews couldn't have been that"off". Antecedents are crossed, mixed up, or nonexistent. There is no poetic merit in the awkward sentence constructions.The story lines lose impact when the language of each story is so disorganized. I can not recommend this book and wonder atthe other favorable reviews. I do not agree, and would never recommend this book to a friend.Note that: this book was originally published in French, so I can not see whether (a) the backwards constructions existed in French,or (b) the translation into English lost original meaning and morphed the book into something awkward and uncomfortable to read.Perhaps the original French doesn't have all the problems. Obviously, this review is about the English version.
Is the review positive or negative?
