Negative Positive
Title: Definitely not Field and Stream
Review: This is one of those gems that I had to suffer through in high school. It was a short read but an annoying, boring and depressing one. If the school system in their wisdom had decided to make us hormonal, easily depressed kids sit down and read about fishing, I could have picked up Field and Stream or else something by Patrick McManus, likeKerplunk!: Stories.At least that way if the fish is caught the writer gets to eat it, and if it didn't get caught, the way it got away would be hilarious, and if it got caught and eaten by sharks, there would be an amusing conclusion. (But it wouldn't have enough deep meaning and pessimism to satisfy my teachers... Who wants a bunch of happy, laughing kids? At least at the time I attended high school?)
Is the review positive or negative?
