Negative Positive
Title: One for the ages
Review: My mother bought a copy of this self-published book directly from the author, who was selling them door-to-door back around the time I was born. She did it out of pity, the moreso (as she later realized) after she started reading it. I tried reading it in my early teens, and tried again in my late teens, and I think I actually gave it another glance a few years ago when visiting my parents. (They've kept every book they've ever bought, including the 1967 set of Encyclopedia Brittanica.)I am sure that there are worse books, but in terms of painfully stilted dialog, this sets a standard that is hard to beat. It is bad enough that, read aloud properly to an audience that has already started drinking, it could be hilarious.
Is the review positive or negative?
