Negative Positive
Title: Dismal and unreadable
Review: I liked Tess of the D'Urbervilles a lot. I could not finish Jude the Obscure--not just because it was sad and tragic. I mean after awhile I got tired of reading about and feeling sorry for Jude and Sue who make most of their problems for themselves and then whine about them. I would describe this book as "agonizing." And not nearly as good as Hardy's other books that I have read. It is true that I was not able to finish the book (I got about half way through) so this may discredit my evaluation.
Is the review positive or negative?
